    I wonder if that joystick control handle base is serviceable

    There are about 50 different models of D6T. Try posting a serial number.........

    Does this look like it.? According to the build data your machine has Grade Control. Correct.?

    Yep, thats it. It is grade control ready yeah. Not installed but it has been installed in the past.

    That's how it was originally built so the parts required to repair it will be the same ones (or their updated counterparts) for the Grade Control joystick setup. 425-8522 Base appears to be the correct one in this case. No serviceable parts. Have you had a go at it with some aerosol contact cleaner or any other similar product.?
