Grapple FEL 3rd function joystick

[ttener]

Hello!

I purchased the EA 3rd function product a bunch of years ago, but lately the FEL grapple is just dead. I thumb the switch, shake the bucket and anything else I can think of to wake it up. Eventually, it will start working. I ran down every wire for loose or disconnected.

My current theory is that it’s the 3 position switch. Which leads me here… I have no idea where to look for a replacement switch. There are literally no markings whatsoever on this thing!!!.

I’m hoping someone may have some insight on this.

Oh, yes I opened it up and took to out to try to match pics and pins on Amazon, but no one lists dimensions

Thanks everyone!!!

The electrical conundrum I als have a grapple that I use on both my Kubota's and I didn't want to go the electrical route so what I did was I borrowed one set of remotes (I have 3 sets on each tractor) and ran hydraulic lines from the remotes under the fender up to the loader mounts and broke them there with another set of pioneer couplers so I could remove the loader if I wanted to. From those couplers, I ran another set of lines up to the lower crossbar on the loader and terminated them with Pioneer (again) female couplers I couple my grapple hydraulic lines to. I went a bit overboard and fabbed up a spiffy mount and welded it to the crossbar and rattle canned the whole thing in Kubota Orange 2. I use my in cab remote actuating lever to open and close the grapple, I have 3 of them, one lever for each set of remotes... Easy peasy. Been like that for a couple years now and I also use the front remotes to power my power angle snowplow as well.
