Checking/Replacing Fuses
The main fuse in the tractor wire harness protects
the tractor's entire electrical system. A blown main
fuse will prevent battery current from passing
though the harness. If all the tractor's electrical
functions are disable, check the main fuse.
The timer fuse protects the glow plug timer from
amperage spikes. If the glow plug timer does not
operate check the timer fuse.
To access the fuses, proceed as follows:
• Raise the tractor hood and remove the right
side panel.
• Locate the appropriate fuse holder on the front
of the bulkhead, just inside the right side of the
dash panel. See Figure 40.

• Pull the fuse from the fuse holder, check the
fuse per Figure 39 and, if necessary, replace
with the same capacity fuse — 30 amps for the
main fuse and 5 amps for the timer fuse. Never
use a higher amperage fuse.
• Install the side panel and lower tractor hood.
Accessing the Lower Dash Panel Area
Some electrical components are housed inside the
lower dash panel. To access the area, remove the
dash panel insert by removing the two screws. See
Figure 41.

To reinstall the dash panel insert, hook the retaining
lip at the bottom of the insert over the bottom edge
of the dash opening, pivot the insert upward into
position, and secure with the two screws.
Electrical Circuit Relays
Several relays which control electrical functions of
the tractor are located inside the lower dash panel.
If one of the circuits is not functioning properly,
have your dealer electrically check the relay. See
Figure 42.
