NC Wayne: The only thing you need to do is buy/get a service manual. They are: TM1283 paper book form $215 or TM1283CD Cd for $110. The TM1283 is on any JD dealer's service adviser computer. This manual has complete wiring diagrams. TM1283 is the complete manual for the machine. There are no other parts/sections you will need to figure out the wiring.
Here are the part numbers for the senders you will need:
Now as for what the dealerships told you. I have a feeling that you must not have any relationship with any of the ones you called. When I was a service manager it made a big difference WHO called for free information. If they dealt with the store, even if it was just buying a few parts then I would try to help all I could. If they shopped all over the USA and never bought much from the store than my schedule might just be real full. I have gotten burnt too many times helping those who go else where to spend their money.
The other BIG problem is that you just called them to get them to give out information to you over the phone for free. Why not go in person and just ask them politely to print you a copy of the wiring diagram from their service Adviser computer????? Any agricultural JD dealer in the USA would have it in the service adviser computer.(I just checked with my local JD dealer. The complete wiring diagram is right in their service pack. I know they never have sold/serviced a cotton picker here in Iowa) I have almost never refused to do it for someone that took the time to asked me in person. I almost never would just do it as a result of a phone call from someone I did not know.
In this case you are building a multi thousand dollar unit. I don't think it would break the budget to buy a used manual or even a new CD.
Just another thought. Most guys/mechanics like to be involved in something different. Did you asked any JD dealer Mechanics that you know personally to see if they could help you get a print out of a wiring diagram??? I have only worked at JD dealers but I have contacts at just about all the other brands dealerships to get help when I need it. I also would try to help them if I could too.
Bad mouthing a brand on here is not really going to get you a lot of help from people. If I was in NC it would not be hard for me to figure out who you are from the uniqueness of this project. If I was a JD mechanic or service manager and I read this post then I would be much less likely to EVER help you as you bad mouthed my brand/dealership. Try nice and polite an you should be able to get the help you need.
