Joined the Snowblower/Thrower crowd. Need Help!

ronjhall · Oct 3, 2004

I found a John Deere 46" Snow thrower for my F735 front mower.
I got everything needed to install it on my mower except the switch and wiring to run the electric chute rotation motor.
 JD wants $50 for the wire harness that will hook to their toggle switch. I am sure I can make a harness for far less. I need of a double throw, double pole, monetary on in both directions, 20 amp. Toggle switch. Anyone know a good place on the Net or store that handles the switches at a lower price than JDs $23.
Thanks for any help.

Try Radio Shack. Suspect they have something.

Thanks I tired Radio Shack. Whenever I click on the site I get a MS error that shuts down IE. I will try again later.
Did check out Canada site it works. They have lots of switches. Found a couple that will work. Next weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving. I will be going there for Turkey. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Have you considered some of the marine supply stores? West Marine is one on the larger chains that is all around the country and on the net, too.

Some of their stuff is every bit as pricey as JD, but they have some reasonable stuff, also. Much of it (but not all) is intended for an exposed environment. A good thing for many tractors!
