Short Game

Hi, long time no see.
Busier than a one armed paper hanger these days.
When I got my R-4010 it had been sitting out at the dealer, in the weather at the coast, and had several corrosion related issues (serious rust in starter and loader valve controls). Since I got it, it has been under cover. One issue was the safety flasher switch. It always was very hard to get the rocker switch into the perfect position to work the flashers. I assumed it was another corrosion issue. Well, it finally got so bad that I couldn't get it to work at all. At the same time, the turn signals quit working.
I removed the left dash panel and found that the problem has always been that the notch that holds the switch together on one side was broken, removing pressure from the switch contacts. There was a corrosion issue as well, as the lower blades and slots in the plug were green and one of the blades was all but rotted off, though still barely hanging on.
I never worried much about the switch, assuming it was a simple switch that could be replaced at any time with any parts store replacement. Not so. The switch has 9 pins and is intricately involved with the turn signal circuits. So, I need this switch and possibly the plug too. Sadly, I am not doing anymore business with the dealer who sold me the tractor. They burned me for $1200 on a used implement and have had two years to make it right and are not interested in making it right, not honoring an agreement with me to make it right. So, I'm done with them. (It's a long story for another time.)
In the Parts Manual it is listed as: SWITCH-EMERGENCY-TRG 750, HMC 181767, and Part Number 40007188.
So, can I get some help here?
I hope everyone here is doing all right.
While my long game is suffering from advancing decrepitude, my short game is holding up.
