MF 399 18 speed shift switch

[TEF 20]

The push button gear stick switch on my 399 to operate the speedshift is knackered. I have spoken to my local MF dealership and they are no longer available.
Has anyone had the same problem and found a replacement switch?
I have looked online at switches but haven't found anything like it

Try rs or take it to an electronic store

 

[TEF 20]

Is that rs components?

Yer how many wires where connected, what's it function there are many switches that will look different but can function the same Ebay is also another place that's good. Will probably cost you £10

Dose it latch or not ?

 

[TEF 20]

No it doesn't latch, and it's 16mm (should have said earlier)

Has more legs but sum will be for led power

Thanks, its worth a try at that price. would a momentary switch continue to keep a circuit when not pressed or would a latching switch be better?

My mate put a flick switch on his gear lever on his 399 and just taped it on

No momentary releases once let go, latching will stay on setting

So it needs to latch ? Flick would do same thing could get caught more easily

The original massey one doesn't latch but my guess is that it must keep the circuit, as without the switch in the gear stick 2 of the 3 wires have to be connected together to make the other switch on the rh side of the cab work correctly

No it doesn't latch - it's a momentary change over.

I know nothing about this but I’ll guess it fires a solenoid for an instant?

May be an electronic circuit involved (flip/flop). First press flips, second flops i.e. the latching is done on the elecrtronic board (if there is one that is)

Would the switch on the gearstick on some 62 series tractors be the same? or would they be no longer available as well?

Switchcraft push button switches seem to be the right size however they are all momentary and my money is on latched. Also they look similar to the ones on loader joysicks for the 3rd service.

It's a bugger if massey dealers can't get hold of replacements

Is the swich mechanism jammed? Sometimes you can get switches to work again by jabbing them hard and squirting in wd40 to dislodge any crap in there

 

[Tomr10]

With as cheap as they are get one of each and see which works
