Third function switch or button source?

[Burtonbr]

I've been thinking about adding a diverter for the loader third function to free up one of my rear remotes. I haven't seen a good option for the switch on the loader control.
A few kits offer a N O momentary switch like this one, but $50 seems a bit steep. http://www.mcmaster.com/#6944K13

I've seen some auto gear shift knobs with a button installed that would work but they are also $50+
I'd like a clean look not just a switch taped to the side of the knob or arm tha twofold be convent and I'm probably just being too cheap but wanted to ask here before ordering something

Has anyone found a better solution ?

Thanks

We used a diverter valve to reroute hydraulics from the anchor winch to the power block, on the seiner I worked on.... A simple push/pull knob...... More than $50 but hey, it's hydraulics....

I got the WR long third function kit when I purchased my tractor and it comes with this handgrip.




I have ordered one of these to replace the hand grip that came with the kit. I had this grip on my last tractor and liked it a lot. They run about $125.00.



I will sell the WR Long when the new one arrives for $50 if anyone is interested. The Scorpion fits my hand so much better and recommend it highly. (The WR Long just looks/feels clunky.)

Thanks for the links, I am looking for a inexpensive switch or knob with a switch but I don't think it's out there, there all more expensive than I would like.
I thought about something like this, it can be just a plain orange knob and the button would be easy to hit with the thumb. guess I shouldn't be so cheap and spend the $50 to get what I want...

You can get a joystick handle from john deere with a switch and wiring harness for around 75.00. The one i looked up was for a 3320 tractor

Its here in this post: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/customization/110476-joystick-handle-horn-install.html

I added the same handle to mine a few years ago, but I used the one for a 110TLB (I think it has an extra switch that the one for the 3x20'a does not have) It was more like $175 though, not sure he the other poster got a price $75?

Pictures please, so that everyone can see the style that it is.

Thank you.

 

[Burtonbr]

Definitely pictures please.

 

[paulwestski]

I'll have to look that up.
I wounder if that wiring harness includes the actual switch?

 

[dlrfarms]

I dont think i can get the pics off of JD but if you look up the part no it should show you a pic of it

 

[kennyd]

For those without JDP access, here is a good breakdown of the parts: OEM Parts

That is a little different than mine in that it only has two switches in a rocker configuration whereas mine also has a third that I used for a horn. These are just membrane switches, so the use of relays is absolutely needed, and the wires are only about 18" long. I also had to machine an adapter to make it fit my handle. So, while is does appear cheap, it's not quite a plug-n-play setup either.

Thanks for the link and the pics. Your install looks good, I didn't notice the link before to your pics. That grip looks like it would work good. I think I'm going to have to find one I like soon.

I just ordered one for my tractor.
Here's all of the part numbers and prices...free shipping.
I even ordered all of the screws. It was less that $72.00
Kubota wants $190 for the Grip and switch.

 

[dlrfarms]

PLease let us know how it goes;Want to do mine soon as the extra cash comes along,. Going with JD lines down the loader frame and 12 v valve with the switch you ordered and then I will build a root grapple for my JD 4300

Have you received the parts? If so, a couple of questions:
How many wires, type of connector?
What is the diameter the grip fits?

Thanks!
