Switches

Otto Engineering has a HUGE selection. They may or may not be able to do the label for you at a reasonable price, but it's worth the call.

I've gotten some of the switches from Wes-Garde components....great place to deal with...BUT has minimum orders....so I have a small "Overstock" in the basement of DPDT's...
Yes in theory you can get them custom printed with a HUGE list of standard symbols, problem is the minimum order number.
I think if something were a "must have" and alot of people wanted to jump on it we could probably arrange a group buy and get it done, but I doubt the TBN crowd would do it in the numbers required...

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions guys! Was not sure if I'd get much of a response. While looking I did find Carling's V-Series switches. They look real clean and somewhat comparable to the rocker's in our Deeres.

I am in contact with my Allied Electronics' local manager to discuss a possible order.
Problem with my order is that I want everything custom labeled! Hopefully it won't be too much of a wallet burner. I'm hoping to order around 9 switches along with proper mounting plates/panels.
These are actually going into my truck.

Thanks again all.

Yo can also find the Carling Contura series of sealed rocker switches at Waytek ( Welcome to Waytek Wire )

I installed 4 illuminated Contura switches on my 2520 open station. Great switch that tolerates the winter weather quite well.

Would you mind posting pictures? I'm interested in seeing your set up

I have one of Sputland Daves switches and it is an exact match tot he switches in the tractor from the factory. I set it up to run the worklights on my cab independantly so i can plow without the glare. I need to take a few pics of it. I will post it here...

You can also go to your local Napa autoparts store, I have had to replace a switch on mine you can get industrial waterproof switches in almost any color of led light for ususally $10 bucks or less depending on how many terminals it has

Still no response from the guy...he said he was getting me a quote. I'll see if he gets back to me this week. You should see the order form for the custom labels and all those shenanigans! lol

I just installed the beacon light on my 3720 cab it was a easy 15 min install.The rocker switch was iluminated which was nice and i was wondering if deere has any other switches(windshield wiper rear worklight etc.)that are iluminated as well.I tried looking in the jd parts section but had no luck. Love to find some with the lableing and lighted it would be nice when working at night.
