Kenny - I know it's been a few years but I'm new to TractorByNet and I think you may be able to help. I'm not engineer and I need some guidence with regard to a joystick switch problem... I bought a JD 5325 back in 2004. It came with an ergonomic handle (like the one you installed). I ordered a WR Long grapple and had it installed at the dealer. I was horrified when it was dilevered with a new home-made looking blocked shapped handle and switch that had replaced the cool ergonomic one. They claimed that that was the switch and handle that had come with the grapple and if I wanted the egonomic handle, I'd have to purchase a handle that had the switch in it (the original handle that came with the tractor had a cut-out for the switch, but there wasn't one in it). So I purchased the new handle, installed it, but it would't work. I thought it was defective. So I returned it and got another. This time it worked for about 5 seconds and then stopped. Turns out, the switch is a different voltage or something and I was burning out the switch. But how to install a switch that could handle the load that would fit into the cool JD handle... I had given up until I saw your post. Do I need a "relay"? HELP! How to find and how to install. Thanks so much.
