Main Fuse
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. To replace the main fuse:
• Raise the tractor hood and locate the main fuse
on the lower/right pedestal beneath the dash
panel. Refer to Figure 39.
• Pull the fuse from the fuse holder and replace
with the same capacity fuse (30 Amp). NEVER
use a higher amperage fuse.
• Install side panel and lower tractor hood.
Figure 39
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 40.
Figure 40
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.
Tractors with Electric Fuse Center
Instrument Panel Fuses
The instrument panel’s circuitry is protected by the
two fuses in the fuse center. If the instrument panel
does not function properly, check the fuses.
Pull the two fuses from the fuse center and check
their condition. Replace a blown fuse with the same
capacity fuse (3 Amp). Refer to Figure 41.
Relays
The PTO relay and starter relay in the fuse center
maintain power to each of those circuits. If one of
the circuits is not functioning properly, have your
dealer electrically check the relay. See Figure 41.

Tractors with Pedestal Mounted Relays
Electrical Circuit Relays
Several relays, which operate 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.
