Looking for a fuse/switch panel

jdgreg · Jul 24, 2006

Got a Curtis cab on my JD 4210, and looking for fuse/switch panel to run all my accessories thru. I've seen the one from Curtis, seems a little $$$. Was wondering if anyone else has found a good panel for running work lights, fan, heater, etc, thru it.

Radio hack and grangers makes lots of switch boxes.

Take a look at marine supply stores, waterproof and real brass contacts and reasonable.

I agree on the marine stores.. Many times you can get grease potted switches.

Inside a cab? meaning it doesnt have to be weather tight?

BY far the best guy to get switch setups is this dude

a very very small sample

you can also just buy switches, fuse blocks etc from him.

Hmm... i think I'd still want weatherproof switches.. even in the cab... Might be humidity differences... I'd hate for an important circuit to fail because I saved a buck on a switch..

Soundguy I agree with needing waterproof switches but those panels that he pictured aren't cheap. Did you follow the link and check the prices? Marine switches are cheaper in my opinion.

I did not check the link.. they looked too $pendy for me. I can wire up an electric circuit in an enclosure box just fine without spending what he probably charges. And yes.. for an switch that is on an outdoor piece of equipment.. marine grade is a good safe bet.

Thanks for the info guys, keep planning on stopping by a Boater's World store that's close to my work, see what they have. Seems most of what they have are the fuse/switch panels, would have to fab a box to mount inside the cab.
