When you’re running a TW series Ford and the dual power system starts acting up—maybe it won’t shift between ranges, sticks in one gear, or leaves you crawling when you need speed—this floor switch might be exactly what you need. The dual power feature lets you shift on-the-go between field speeds and transport speeds, and when this switch fails, you lose half your transmission options. That’s not something you want happening when you’re trying to match ground speed to your implement or need to get down the road.
What You’re Getting
- Direct replacement floor switch for early dual power systems (up to year 1988)
- Robust construction that handles the vibration and demands of heavy fieldwork
- Electrical component that tells your dual power valve when to shift between working and transport speeds
- Easy installation that gets you back to having all your gear ranges available
Built for Real Farm Work
Ford TW series tractors with dual power are workhorses on farms everywhere, handling everything from loader work to planting. That dual power feature lets you shift between field speeds and transport speeds without clutching—perfect when you’re baling and need to slow down for thick windrows, or when you’re cultivating and hit a tough spot. These big tractors need components that can handle the demands of serious farm work.
Made to Last
This switch is built specifically for the electrical loads and environmental conditions that come with operating dual power transmissions on working farms. The contacts are designed to handle the current draw without burning out, and the housing stands up to the dust, moisture, and temperature swings you’ll find in any tractor cab.
Good to Know
Installation is usually straightforward, though you might need to get creative with angles depending on your tractor. Make sure you disconnect the battery before starting work, and check your electrical connections for corrosion while you’re there. This is the early type switch—if you have a 1988 or later TW, you’ll need part 2455 instead.
