Not sure how similar our equipment is but thanks for starting this topic as I have a sloppy joystick block where it pins to the hydraulics. Older Model L480 loader
The steel block on the bottom end of the joystick must be softer metal because the pin is not worn.
I tried inserting a piece of thin metal in the hole to act as a sleeve
but not sure i gained much as the hole in the block is more worn on the operator side, not symmetrical.
Anyhow, I'll figure something out but not spending $100
for a new joystick, maybe a decent used one somewhere. .
I may try some jb weld, pull the joystick, insert the pin, add jb weld to
fill the gaps on both ends of the block, spin and pull the pin , let harden.
Maybe lubricate the pin with a little grease to keep it from sticking to the jb
when removing.
