Our f2 came to us with a BIG SHAVER height control. Worked flawlessly til this afternoon. Several wires came unsoldered and fried the 3 position switch. Anybody have any suggestions on where to get parts for the switch box? Can't find any info online. Thanx

I can try to get pics tomorow. It's a after-market system that was made by vesco in southern ind. No longer in buisness. Too bad cuz it's a awesome option for that era of machine

I am reading that the F3 electrics might work ( with some work)since you already have the hydraulics. Call Tim at B&G equipment, or he may see this thread goes by "TBran".

Mack, it's the barrel switch in the cab that had wires come loose and fry a switch that controls low-med-hi cut height

It is a common three poison drum switch with a three poison selector switch mounts on the side. EBay--Wwgranger-- or electrical supply will have them. MACK
