Broken joy stick body

[mistermcgoo]

Anyone have this happen? Hard to repair?

Thanks.

By the looks of it, plastic probably wasn't a good choice of material.

After taking it apart, it looks pretty simple. Where is a good place to order the body online? It looks like one of the pins are bent as well. Hmm. For now I used 2 part epoxy to hold until a replacement.

hi mistermcgoo kioti dealers sell the repair parts. they are an upgrade. the new ones are metal. I had to replace mine and it wasn't too hard if you are mechanical inclined the part #36001-0170 is what to look for. search the dealer site. looks to be $16.56 + shipping. try your dealer. have a good day

Thanks. Since I purchased the tractor from MIE, I should ask if they have the pin and body in stock. I wanted to order online to get it asap, but delivery dates were between 4/15 and 4/24. I may end up making the body if it takes that long because the epoxy didn't hold although a plate could be used to hold it together to get me through, but the body is pretty busted up. The pin is still usable until it can be replaced.

I really needed the use of this tractor today:smiley_aafz:
