john deere 440 crawler loader ( joy stick control?)
I would like to replace my existing valve controls with a single joy stick . Is there a special one I need to get to do this? Or can I make any one work. I was looking at one out of northern tools one is called regenerating and one is not. What is the difference?
YOu will need a valve that will handle about 15GPM, and adjustable pressure down to 1500PSI or less, open center.

Not a very hard conversion, I'm not familiar with the 440 controls so I can say how hard it would be to make a joystick configuration for your existing valve. but mounting a new valve is not hard, find a way to bolt it to the machine and hook up your hoses, done.
Here are two valve, first is higher GPM and cheaper, but take measurements and port locations into consideration for ease of mounting.

The joystick you are referring to was on the Pilot Touch crawlers, and was for the steering and reverser, not loader controls.
