2 Cylinder John Deere Wiring Harness

[@MOTrav]

Nice clean secure wire harness work. I like your Mustang work bench to spread out paperwork and small parts. Everybody should have a Mustang work bench!

[@jonelsonster]

The trunk lid of a 66 mustang is the perfect height. That's the only reason we've got that car... To use it as a workbench 😅

Nice job on the wiring harness. Like the idea of soldering.

[@jonelsonster]

Thanks 👍

[@fuzz1500]

Looks great ! Kind of reminds me of every truck...tractor and house project I have ever had. Everyone did the bare minimum lazy thing so the next guy could do it right. Seems like I'm always that guy lol ! Glad I'm not alone !

[@jonelsonster]

Sometimes ripping it all out and starting off fresh is easiest.

[@ptnelsonster]

I recently did a total rewire of the wire harness for trailer hookup and trailer brakes on my old F250. Feels good to have consistent electrical power!

[@jonelsonster]

Wiring on a vehicle is much more daunting than a tractor, so good job with that!

[@weirddeere]

A very nice description of re-wiring these poor ole hunks of iron and you do good work! The addition of wiring diagrams is very helpful! I really liked how you broke down the 830 into the different circuits which makes it much easier to digest. I always think of it as one wire at a time haha. The only thing I do different is crimp AND solder my terminals. There's no kill like overkill haha

[@jonelsonster]

I still need to add in the oil pressure shut off, but I'll get it added on eventually.

Excellent work Jonelstar :) also I have done lots Wire Harness hook up over years lots stuff also I had do 2 farm tractor was terrific difficult to fix up was 1950 Noresman was row crop like your John Deere A but mice chew all wires ! I had to find a schematics (1950) Dodge Car plus Fargo pickup types to do on new wire up plus 6 volt postive to change a 12 volt Negative ground! Noresman was in barn for 48 years not used or cover up and seized motor! Plus had replaced motor, fully restoration all gauges to even key ignition switch plus seat also much was 6 months job! Then did Ferguson TEA 25 one and it was easy after found a Farm Equipment Dealership my dad used had all schematics plus full restoration even wire up to new wires plus gauge even key ignition switch worked even keys too plus how get 12 volt Negative ground to gave in schematics! Yes was fun too do plus few gauge need replaced ! Yes so fun was after Ferguson sat not working for 35 years in same barn Noresman was and so wild! Yes Noresman was made Brampton plus Hamilton Ontario Canada plant from 1945 to 1955 had Flat head 235 6 cylinder with 1 barrel carb Zenith down draft on right side and exhaust up hole in hood for round muffler and first tractor had Speedometer with ran on transmission front on cable seen plus miles 0 to 60 MPH top and dash of pick up or car to plus 4 forward gears and Reverse rear end was truck type 8 studs 1 ton 390 ratio drum brakes too! I heard Noresman was built only 45 hp with 65 torque too and first gear was Bow Low or some people called it Creeper Gear 1 !

[@jonelsonster]

Wow! That's amazing!

@jonelsonster welcome

[@jefflee1467]

Nice video with great detail and information. Thanks!

[@jonelsonster]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

I ended up with a 35 ton wood splitter And installed an emergency stop switch next to the hydraulic control valve. No use blowing a hose and trying to find the peanut switch on the motor. Good wiring job and Blessings, Yall

[@jonelsonster]

👍🏻 thanks so much

[@lewiemcneely9143]

@@jonelsonster You too with the tractor griving gal!

[@tcmtech7515]

I've redone many old tractor wiring harnesses. The most critical thing to keep in mind is what you plan to do with the machine in the future. For me, I always upgrade the old generators to alternators and add extra lighting since the machines I work with still serve a practical purpose. Due to that, I increase the wire sizing and add tap point locations for the extra modern loads I may be adding to the system. Beyond that is updating the old fuse protection to modern push button circuit breakers.

[@jonelsonster]

I added an alternator to my old Ford truck, but with our tractors we've always kept the generator or just left it off. That's the benefit of a magneto... It'll run without a battery.

[@wbreese9903]

Looks good! Very nicely done...

[@jonelsonster]

Thank you very much!

[@Dævïd9-11]

Thank you, saving this to do an M over the summer

[@jonelsonster]

Best of luck. The M is a great little tractor. We use ours a lot for planting corn and grass/alfalfa.

[@stevemccoy8138]

That really looks good. Shouldn't have any problems with that. Thanks for Sharing. 😊

[@jonelsonster]

Thanks for watching

[@wemedeeres4105]

Digikey is a great source for electrical components, better yet only about an hour drive from where I live!!!!

[@jonelsonster]

👍🏻

[@wademizelle3433]

Another great video, we’re in NC, I am looking at a Model 70 with JD Loader, it hasn’t ran in 10 to 12 years, any guess as to the most I should give for it? Thanks, I watch all your videos

[@jonelsonster]

Tractors are money pits 😂. But seriously, price can be very subjective. A lot depends on condition... And I'm talking more than just a coat of paint. Does it run and drive well? Diesel or gas? If it's diesel, how does the pony run? Tires can be expensive. Some people are way low on price and others are way high. My opinion (and let me emphasize opinion) is if it doesn't run, but is complete and in good condition, $1500 or less is a decent deal. It it runs very well and has nice tires up to $4000 could be a good deal. But there are a lot of people out there who would say that's what too high. I'm the end, it's all up to you... Make an offer of what you think it's worth. The 70 is a great tractor, so you can't go wrong there.

[@keithobrien8977]

Can you show the part number of those heavy duty loop ends that you used on the wire? There's a lot of stuff on that Digikey site! Also what type and brand of solder do you use? Thanks

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Old wiring mostly looks spaghetti junction until you can get it all sorted out and make it more better.

[@jonelsonster]

Agree 💯

[@clarencetrice4442]

😊😊 U should go 2 a copy place and have made oversize at least 11 X 17 blown up 50 % percent then see 👀 😊 how it looks it will show alot more detail in the back ground and it makes it easier 2 read 📚 😊 OMG 12 13 2O24

[@jonelsonster]

I'll leave that to someone else 😅

[@frankdeegan8974]

Care must be used when soldering , to get the joint hot. Cool joints do not conduct electrictricty very well.

[@jonelsonster]

I've always figured if the solder melts and flows then it's good... But I've never really thought about how to verify temp.
