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

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.
