I have a new, unused joystick that I was going to use to control the blower chute rotate and discharge. Tractor was sold and the new one doesn't need it.
You do realize that as soon as you ship it a project that requires a joystick will magically appear!! Of course if you were to keep it, it would lay around on your workbench for years collecting dust.
Hold up. Push your clutch in. That looks awesome. Where would I find something like that for my snowblower. Right now I am using two window motor switches but the joystick looks much nicer. Where would I find one?
Hmm. Interesting. Pretty sure an arcade joystick will not come with wiring instructions for me I am probably better off with my power window switches that work. Have to admit the the joystick sure would work nice. Thanks again for the info.
I used a similar joystick and 4 automotive relays to control both the rotation and deflector. Not hard to do and well worth the effort, especially the joystick part for which I now have fingertip control.
I originally used momentary contact 3 way DPDT rocker switches that I crossed over to reverse the polarity and thus opposite rotation. They were not easy to operate with gloves. The joystick is so much easier that I can place between two fingers and control the chute. If you're dead set on rocker switches, I see that you can purchase a polarity reversing switch at Amazon Amazon.com: 3 Amp Rocker Switch Polarity Reverse DC Motor Control: Automotive which wouldn't require the crossover since it's already done for you. But joystick is the way to go.
Why relays? To take the amps away from the microswitches in the joystick.
