I have (or I should say had) the same problem with my JD4500 and 460 loader. I cut the joy stick off just above the offset in the shaft, threaded the end of the shaft and threaded the control knob back on---Problem solved. I also shortened the gearshift lever in a loke manner. I now have plenty of room in the operators station and at 6'4" the controls are in a natural position for me to reach. You would be amazed how this improves operator comfort and control.

I have got the front tire scrub big time on my 4500 when operating in 2wd. I also found that both tierod ends developed over .100inch slop in 48hrs running time. Deere replaced the tierod ends with no problem, however I am concerned that this sideloading is causing undue damage to the front end (steering) components. I am asking deere for the new axle design.
