Joystick handle and Horn install - Machine Underground -Tractor & Commercial Equipment Discussion Forum

**Kennyd** · 11-05-2007, 09:21 PM

I finally got a chance to install my Joystick handle I bought last year, and while I was at it and had an extra button I installed a horn. The Handle is from John Deere, they use it on the 110 TLB's (cost $170.00) and the horn is from AutoZone (cost $14.00).

The hole in the end of the joystick was to big to fit, so I had to machine the adapter to make it fit.

I added 2 relays because I did not know the rating of the membrane switch in the handle, So I thought I'd just play it safe with the relays. The UP/DOWN switch operates the diverter on the FEL, either UP or Down activates the diverter. The front single switch operates the horn.

Thanks for looking

kenny,

That is one sweet modification. If only my 2210 had the hydraulic flow of your's . . .

Kenny, that is one nice mod, I like it. I'm gonna have to think of something to use that switch for, just so I can get one too!

KennyD -

Hvae you used this in loader work and does it save time and effort overall, compared to traditional movements of the joystick without the new handle?

I already solved that problem for you, you need a diverter and a horn!

Main reasons for the horn:
1. I had an extra button
2. I can
3. I wanted it
4. It's cool
5. It's different
6. It was only $14.00
7. To make you all jealous
