Hello John M. When I first took delivery of my M it had an aftermarket 3 position switch and the cutout presently on the tractor. The guy had to use the battery off his chevy silverado to get it started. Once started, he unhooked the battery and the motor kept running Once unloaded from the trailer and still running, he showed me that it indeed had lights that worked.
The wiring on it was a total nightmare. Just how it ran, I'm not sure, but it ran. I tore out all the old wiring and made up a temporary harness with a new aftermarket reproduction 4 position switch that I got from Brillman. After that, the tractor ran just fine with good lights. Then one day, no more lights. And that's the way it's been ever since.
Now that you mention it, I went back and checked the wiring diagrams. Diagram #2 shows a VR paired up with a 3 position switch. Diagrams #3 &4 show a cutout paired up with a 4 position switch.
So the tractor at first had a 3 position switch pared up with the cutout. Could that maybe be what's causing me these problems now?
Here's the picture you asked for. The cutout has this number stamped on it at the base---11166766 A.
