3rd function rocker switch

[Smeltzer53]

Does anybody know of a rocker switch that will fit in the L4060 handle for 3rd function? I much prefer the Kubota handle over the WR Long handle. I haven't had luck looking for an OEM switch.

pop out the 'blank bezel' and post the hole dimensions..
also what type of switch contacts..
I'm thinking SPDT CO ( Single Pole, Double Throw, Center Off, momentary ( has 3 pins....) ??

Should be able to order the OEM switch from Kubota.

I don't think that switch location was used for the third function, I think it was used for transmission operations, so even if you got the factory switch it probably would not work correctly for the third function.

Along with the measurements from the switch hole you will need to measure / check your original switch arrangement to know what does what.
I see a rocker switch and a push button, are both used for the third function?

I will get measurements this evening. I don't know what the OEM use is, I assumed 3rd function but I don't know. On the new handle, the red button is the idle up, my current handle already has that, it just isn't pictured.
Yes, the rocker would be SPDT CO momentary.
I use the loader all the time, and the OEM handle is much more comfortable. The new one just feels cheap and bulky.

That is where my third function switch is located.

Any chance you could pop it open and look for a part number or even a picture? It looks like it would have to be a shallow switch so it doesnt interfere with the high idle button.

My tractor is at the farm and I won't be out there for a week or so.

Interesting that is what it's used for, as they also throw in a zip tied on push button to it also.
You would have thought they would have incorporated that in the handle too.

How do the two switches interact with each other, the rocker and the push button?

Mine is the cab version and all the wiring is hid by the plastic shroud. Some of the tractors they put the button down lower and it come thru the hard plastic, which I think the kill switch button lower looks nicer.

The green button (kill switch) kills the 3rd function. Why you would ever want to kill it, not sure.

The rocker switch built into the handle just opens and closes the grabble.

Thanks for that, I wasn't clear as to why they had 2 switches operating it.

So a Double throw momentary spring to center switch would do it for him.
And I would do a double throw just to cover every possibility.

The blank opening is 1.25" x .625"

Here is a picture I found with the power switch mounted in the fender

This is the setup on mine. I bought the tractor used, but believe it to be "factree". So far it's only used for angling the snow plow. The little button is ON/OFF and glows greenish when the third function is active. The two buttons on the side of the knob are handy to use a thumb because my hand is usually cupped over the top of the joystick when doing loader stuff. Their position makes it easy to avoid unwanted operation.

Remeasure it with a caliper and in mm
Because if it's turely 31.75mm x 15.875 mm or 32mm x 16mm it's not a standard switch size.

Possible switches?

2nd one is better...rated for DC current. 1st one is for AC current and probably NOT designed to pass DC ( have to see all the specs...)
It's one of those 'details' some overlook..think 'amps' is 'amps' ,but they aren't.....

I'm more concerned about the size of the switch.
I can't find any that fit his measurements.

My local dealer thinks he has the right switch on order.

Those measurements are very close, I used calipers and it was within a couple hundredths, I don't remember exactly what it was. It is an odd size compared the the other switches I have laying around.
