Fel joystick not tilting: B26

[Buildthewall]

Hi, a newbie owner. I have a 2009 B26 with 900 hours. I was using it the other day and the joystick control for the fel detached at the bottom (it looks like a small pin came out that was held in with a spring clip) it doesn't tilt the bucket (it does still raise and lower it). Its a pain in the ass to see what's going on but it looks like there is some fluid around the control valves. I have basic skills with tools but not advanced. Before I take a closer look at it does anyone know why the pin would come out? Could it be something wrong with the control valves? Thanks

Sounds like a cotter pin wore out to me and if that's the case, it should be a relatively simple fix. You should be able to find an exploded view of your loader controls on Messicks.

I've lost count of how many spring clips have vanished mysteriously off my 4 year old B2650, pretty much always after a stint in the bush. I wouldn't doubt that a branch could fish itself up unto that pin's space and release it on while the move.

Thank you guys! Parts orders from Messicks, I’m struggling to access the bottom of the joystick to put a new pin in. Do you know which panel I need

to remove, the front one or the one on top?
