My controller decided to to play host to ants and it's not in a good way.

International Mowers > Products / McConnel / Power Arm 41 (compact)

This arm has 7 12 volt solenoids that control the hydraulics of the arm, and a mechanical engage for the flay mower.

One solenoid turns on the flow for the others. I was thinking of just replacing it with a single on off to turn the flow on, and six momentary switches for each of the other solenoids.

I was also wondering about how the horizontal float works. My guess is the the flow solaniod is turned off. and both solaniods that control the tilt of the head are left open. Does this sound right ?

I'm sure my momentary toggle switch wont hold up as well the original hall effect devices. But will be far easier to replace if need be.

Cheers
Byron
