The switch that controls the header position on my Deere combine is failing again. I replaced it 5 years ago at a cost of $400. Now Deere wants $960 for it! You cannot just replace the switch you have to replace the entire hydro handle.
It is a two stage switch, you press the button half way is raises slow, all the way it raises fast. I took the old one apart and the rocker depresses little micro switches soldered to a circit board. I can get the micro switches for $8.50 each online Now the guestion? How does one desolder the old switchs and install the new ones without melting the whole thing? I don't know of anyone locally and there are no adds in the phone book for this type of work. Anyone do this work or know of a place that does it? I would gladdly ship to and pay someone to do it, has to be a cheaper way than mother Deere's $1000 solution! BTW I live in SE MN.
