Where do I order a replacement knob for the 450B FEL control?
The one on mine split in half.

Deere is likely only source. If you have a part number, I can check as well.

# 23 ...... AP17808 (lift and dump?) is the one that is replaceable the other is only with the lever http://jdpc.deere.com/jdpc/servlet/com. ... ervlet_Alt ...... PS.. it took awhile to figure what FEL was for better results spell it out next time

Thank you for trying, I am sorry, as a newbie, I thought FEL was standard. I presume you now understand it is Front End Loader.

The link you provided could be just what I need, but I don't the part number nor do I know what John Deere would call the knob.

The knob is threaded onto the shaft, so it should be replacable, just a matter of knowing the thread size possibly..... I did try moving a knob from another control, and the threads vary in diameter so it could not be switched.

Such a simple part it would seem

maybe just some aftermarket push on replacement? Or a racquetball

Go to your dealer, tell them what you are working on, and they can look it up for you.
