HELP!! Lift switch AC716 - 7016 need part #

[jdschool]

My lift switch is shot, completely stopped working. This wouldn't normally be a problem except that I've got 8" of snow and 150' of driveway. As luck would have it I got about 15' plowed before the switch quit working (internal disfunction). The dealer can't find a part number so he can't even check to see if it's in stock. The lift kit came off a AC310 and the switch has 6 spade conectors on it. Any help would be would be great.

I went out and got a marine grade switch. You need a double pole, double throw,(DPDT) momentary contact switch rated for 15 or preferably 20 amps. I have a stock switch from another electric lift kit, but that won't do you any good for this snow storm.

Dieter Radio will have any kind of switch you need. Thats where i get mine and cheaper than dealer.

As Maynard has said go to Radio Shack, the DPDT switch is carried under P/N 275-709 $4.29 ea. It should fit right in, good luck Ray

Thanks to everyone for the timely advice. I did as suggested and found the switch. It was a quick install and I just got in from plowing the drive. The 710 did a beautiful job, as usual.

If you want the OEM part, try this: Wire harness and switch PN1651166

The electric lift is nice, but they seem to quit when you need them most. Here's a modification I made to my tractor. I did it for a dual lift, but it also works as a backup for the electric lift.
