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 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".

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
