I was picking up a log with the loader when I felt a "pop"in the joystick control and the loader stopped lifting.
I still have curl function and downward movement. I have not opened up the control cover yet.
I was looking for a blow up pic of the loader system but can't locate one; anybody have a link and advice?

I there are any quick couplers on the loader one of them probably disconnected. May not be obvious. Best to uncouple and recouple to be certain. Do this with the loader on the ground, the tractor shut off and the loader valve relaxed. You might want to move the tractor to a good place to work on first in case this isn't the problem before lowering the loader.

Does the joystick feel like it is loose in the raise lower operation vs curl dump? If yes them something in the mechanical connection has failed. Is the joystick mounted directly to the valve or are there cables running from joystick to valve?

I believe messicks has an online parts diagram for Kubotas.

Was a broken cable that I was able to locate locally and get it installed and adjusted.
