After looking for a bit. Mr. Short's youtube video shows how he machined his switch housing for his bucket grapple.

Guess I'm going to have to get fabricating a housing like he built for what I want to do. Unless someone has a suggestion.

This is the mod that I did on my tractor. I made a new lever out of some 1/2" tube so I could run the wires up through it. Makes for a cleaner installation.

I also bent the tube so the knob with the switches was at a height and distance that was comfortable for me.

Wow!!! Nice fab work. That is clean! Sweet!

I found a dual switch housing, that has small switches, I'm going to see how well these will work. I bought some other items and going to give it a shot here.

Will see if these will work out the way I want them to. If get it set right then I will be happy.

Keep in mind these switches are on/off, not momentary.
Yup, going to check and make sure. They're supposed to be on-off-on, which can work, but if not, I can get the mini on-off-on momentary switch to replace the one. Not a big deal.

Going to replace one switch anyway to on-off.
