Hopefully not a sign of things to come... loader control arm suddenly went limp from side to side. After removing the plastic cover behind the floorboard, I found that one of the tiny clevis pins that secure the arm to the actuator on the valve had disappeared. Looks like an easy enough fix on paper, until you try to get at it... with the way it's recessed, it's nearly impossible to get to. And good luck finding a replacement pin that small anywhere... I haven't been able to yet.

Machine is under warranty, but all local dealers are 2-8 weeks out on any repairs at the moment. Am I missing something obvious here to make self-repair possible?
