Can't Find a 20 or 25 Amp Auxiliary Switch for a TC45D

[WCarp]

I was planning on putting a 20 or perferably 25 amp SPST rocker switch in one of the empty switch holes on the dash but so far after contacting two NH dealers plus a NH sales Rep and NH's Customer Service, two auto parts stores and using Google, I have found none that will fit the hole!

Since I was hoping to find something soon, I thought I would see if anyone might know a source for one. It doesn't need a light. It would be nice if it looks similar to the NH switches.

I also found after checking things out that NH didn't make it easy at all to properly add additional circuits such as a 20 amp one although they were helpful to provide additional switch holes.

Thanks.

Can you pull one of the existing switches out and figure out who makes it? Look for name/part# something? Go to the part mfg, not NH.

You might try Digikey.com or Newark Electronics (newark.com)

what size is the hole?

on my Kioti i was able to use any rectangular switch found at radio shack. they just plugged in.

there are also lots of them listed on ebay.

Check this link to Grainger rocker switches. I think it hardest problem will be finding an all-weather switch. If you park your tractor indoors, this might not be a problem.

For all weather switches...check at a Marine supply store. All boat switches are weatherproof., These 2 switches i added for my emergency lights are from a marine store. They dont look like my original switches, but i really dont care. They fit into the existing cutouts without any problem, and they work great. The bottom right one turns the light on and off while the upper right is a momentary on switch that adjusts the flashing patterns of the lights. I wanted them lit so i could see them at night in winter when i use the lights.,

Here is a replacement flasher switch for your tractor from Partspring.

New Holland 86558430 SWITCH, FLASHER

Here is the part information for that switch and all of the dash controls.

Official New Holland Online Parts Store and Online Parts Catalog for New Holland and Ford Tractors.

The switch information does not give details as to how much current it will handle. You might could call them to find out.

The hole size is 21 mm x 37 mm.

Don't know why you need such a high amperage switch, why not just use whats available that fits the hole. Use the switch to power a relay to carry the load. Relays are available at any parts house and can be rated for any amperage load you would ever need.

Now there you go. . . using your head and bringing practical good design into all of this.:thumbsup:
