SW4 Electrical problem update

Posted by EddyJ on October 13, 2005 at 13:39:07 from (64.200.84.83):

Here is the update . It turns out the previous owner press fit a plug with a threaded end in the belt pulley attachment. It looked like a stud for the ground, but it wasn't. My connected ground to this wasn't good enough. Also there seems to be a short in the lighting system. I took the tractor down to only wiring the charging and ignition system. The system starts and charges fine.When I connect the lighting system wires get hot and it blows fuses ( someone put 30 amp fuses in this tractor) NOT GOOD. The wiring on this is a real bad job by the previous owner all homemade with lots of splices, not even close to original setup.

( I hate it when people dont have wire long enough so they use 2 ring terminals and a bolt then hide it under electrical tape and plastic conduit).Seen this more than once.

I have a new harness but sending it in for paint first. Just wanted to make sure the system works .

Thanks Jim for the insight into the problem.
