I made my own that would plug in-line with the existing wiring harness but it's only bench tested for now. The enclosure will sit under the cowl in the space next to the wiper motor and the remote potentiometer will be mounted in the dash near the hazard lights push button. The board is this...

Panasonic rates the relay at 20A max continuous carrying current, 35A rated switching. NAiS (the mfg stamped on the relay) is now Panasonic. DigiKey is a massive electronics distributor based in Thief River Falls, MN. They show 1,721 pieces in stock so it's coming from MN, not Asia. The...

Buy a couple to keep on hand for spares- https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/panasonic-electric-works/CM1A-R-12V/647140 I've bought two myself. That's the OEM for Kubota pn RD451-54382.

Yes, you should be able to move it by hand but there will be resistance. The pedal arm is what extends/retracts the damper, not the other way around. The damper will stay wherever it is if it's disconnected as there is no internal force to extend or retract it. But I should say this- without...

Is the damper functional? It should extend and retract smoothly but with even resistance throughout. The damper is not a spring. It adds resistance to the pedal motion but should not stop it from returning to center.

Read the fine print...

I retrofitted a couple of my wide pusher snow shovels (30 inch and 36 inch) with thin UHMW wear bars 19 years ago- wear bars are still going strong.

I used 10" baler belting. Stiff enough to collect loose snow but has enough give to deflect around hard objects. Fastened with bolts, flat washers, and lock nuts- all stainless.

For a signal to be sent to the starter, the HST pedal needs to be in the neutral position and the PTO lever needs to be disengaged. If the HST pedal interlock is slightly off, try slowly sweeping the pedal forward and backwards while holding the key in the start position. You may find that...

My bad. I read this and assumed you were swapping batteries/chargers/pumps in and out frequently and there was no mention of using a switch to disable the power before making the connections.

I don't know if I would have chosen that style for frequent connnections and connections made under load- they weren't designed for that. The Anderson SB50 connector would be ideal for this. Contacts are available for 12AWG. Here's a knockoff example-...

Buy another one. After you use it, you'll find the first one you already had.

This guy owns a snow removal company in Sault St Marie and they run nothing but inverted blowers on a fleet of mostly Kubotas. Watch through some of his videos to see how the blowers perform. Lots of good in-cab and aerial video too. https://www.youtube.com/@Stefano_Narducci/videos

I'll do you one better- I would have wrapped the stack in duct tape.

87A is the normally closed contact. 87 is the normally open contact. Power for the device (light, motor, etc...) is supplied to terminal 30 and either goes to 87A or 87 out to the device. When the relay is not energized, power is routed to 87A (normally closed, aka N.C.) When the relay is...
