I just bought an 1995 Ford F350 Powerstroke automatic trans. dump from a local school district (only has 37,000 miles on it!!). Anyways, it came with a Diamond 8ft blade. The controls for it are on the dash in a box with rocker switches. This seems like my right arm is gonna' fall off after using this setup for a few hours, constantly reaching up to move the plow.
Does anyone else have this setup, and if so, should I change it to something else?

You can do anything as long as you have the imagination. There are lots of brackets out there, just look. and if you have a stick shift mounting on the shifter is the best way, he is rite.
One of my old mans trucks he put the 2 switches in a electrical box with a blank cover and about a 3 ft cable he had a tethered remote before Myers ever thought of one. If only he had patented it
Well you answerd your first question,COMFORT and probably the most important is when your in the cab for 8-16 hours you most deffinatly want comfort and eae of use

My uncle has his Boss controller mounted on the dash of his Dodge 2500. It seams like a really good place for it because it's close to the shifter. I have never tried it though. I personally like holding mu Fish Stick in my left hand. It's all about what's most comfortable for you.

Ya I have my myers push button velcro to dash, so is my western, when not in use, and in my right hand or lap when plowing, easy shiftn an auto with the hand held controls. With a stick shift I like mounting the old style little toggle switchs with the extensions on shifter, its a easy game with a good immagination!

How about reconfiguring it to run off a fisher or western or a boss control? It can't possibly be that difficult but then wiring isn't my strong suit. I'm sure one of these guys around here would know how to do it.
