was back draging a lawn and the bucket joystick came off in my hand ! Seems the tiny littlepiece of 1/8" x 3/4" strap that its screwed to broke right thru the screw hole. Imagine that ! Is mine the only one [?] on a unit with 189 hrs ?

A hundred different things could be the cause of this. I would bet your not the first to have a threaded rod bust or strip out. With that many hours on it and no problems before, sounds like something happened recently. Any recent mishaps on or around the joy stick? ....

Mine broke off at less than 100 hrs. Luckily, I was able to pull off the bellows and figure out what happened so I could raise the bucket valve enough with pliers to get the tractor out of the field and back to the barn while awaiting the replacement part. Not hard to fix, but a royal pain. It's been another 50 hrs, and it's feeling loose again. Gonna order another replacement part to have around when it fails again. ....
