La680

Hi there, does anyone know of a kit to rebuild a b01301 control lever on a la680 loader, pretty much all the pivots are worn out, it's on a l4200 no cab, I know I can buy all the parts from the dealer but was looking for a complete kit, or if anyone has any better ideas, just to note that there isn't anything wrong with the spool valve assembly itself, just the linkages.
Thanks in advance

Don't know of a kit - but I had a LA680 with a floppy lever which I improved a lot by replacing the 010 lever. The pin holes were egged out. I also replaced the 120 lever but the 010 made the biggest difference. The price for 75540-62110 is over $150. One might try welding and re-drilling the old part? Good luck - Dick B

Thanks for the reply, if it were mine I'd weld, grind, drill, hammer, curse etc but it's a friend's and gets used several times a week so can't really do it at my leisure, that's why was hoping for a kit or if someone succefully changed to a different lever, can't say I'm a big fan of this style, all my loaders are old enough that they are run with 2 levers, are all the joysticks as awkward to use as this one and wear out as fast? Or is this one just a bad design? Tractor has just under 3k hours on it
