I've had my Backyard Buddy trailer width lift for a few years, and it has served me well. The one thing I've never liked about operating it is the small but very strong power switch on the motor. Holding it for 90 seconds is tough due to the small size and spring resistance. I would like to mount a larger pushbutton or other type of switch but am finding cheap plastic models or ones that aren't rated for that much current. I imagine I could wire a relay and use a lower amperage switch but would prefer a direct replacement if possible. Thoughts or suggestions? Thanks

I have the same issue with my 15+ year old autolifters. I'm toying with just converting it to a conventional 220/20 amp throw switch. The existing button has stuck on me a couple of times which is why I used to have a circuit breaker within arms reach.
