Electrical switch for raising and lower motor deck

[John Sullivan 24]

Hello,
I have a question.  I have a 520-8 Wheelhorse with an electrical cylinder that raises and lowers the mowing deck.  I am attempting to find the switch.  Went to Parts Tree, am unable to get Parts Tree to accept any Wheelhorse numbers in the system.  Most of the Wheelhorses list hydraulic lift cylinders.  I am wondering if anyone could give me direction on where I could locate this.  There is a number on the switch, which is 8834, and it is a 4-pronged switch.
Any and all help will be appreciated.
Thank you,
John

The original lift model number was 8-4227 but Toro has changed that to 84227 so that is what needs to be used for online info.

Try here to see if the parts are still available from Toro

Type Toro in the 2nd box and a model number in the 3rd box.

Anything priced should still be available from any Toro dealer.

 

A generic double-pull double-throw momentary switch with an adequate power handling rating may be a suitable replacement.

The switch and relay price from Toro will scare you. There should be a $25 alternative for a switch a 2 relays to make it work. Did not study the wiring diagram so I may be way off.
