Where to get info on Montana 3840 wiring schematic?

[yoderski]

Hi you all,
I am the owner of a 3840 Montana tractor for 8 years, with a front-end loader. The starter safety switch has gone bad, so I can only start it by using a screwdriver on the starter. However, I was able to get the replacement part from PartsforMontana tractors, but no one can get me a wiring schematic for my mechanic. I understand from an experienced mechanic, that you never had the wiring schematic in the manual, but had to get it from Montana tractor directly. Well, that is no longer possible! Any way to get this, or does someone have a place to get this? Thanks in advance. Atmore, AL

Why not just hook up the wires the same way as they are on the current switch?

The parts manual might have a diagram:

Yahoo! - 999 Unable to process request at this time -- error 999

Thanks, joe for your prompt reply. No, the parts manual is downloadable off Internet, and does not have the schematic. I don't have the repair manual, but have been told it doesn't have it. And I think the mechanic has done the replacement the same way, but because it doesn't fix the problem, he needs the schematic to go further. To see where the problem is.

I'm not sure what the model number is of the Montana we have at work. I'll check and see what info we may have.

Sorry. Not much info in the Owner's Manual.

Thanks for the help, but I guess I am stymied at present. No one seems to have access to the wiring schematics anywhere...

I have a Service Manual for the Montana 3040,3840. it is a paperback that I got from Montana for $50. years ago. There is a diagram in the back that might help you - I'll try to attach.

There was an Operators Manual that came with the tractor. In my opinion I would be embarrassed to give the book away, my guess is it was electronically converted from Korean before there were electronic converters.

I see PartforMontana sell both the Operators manual and a Service/Repair manual. I don't know if they are the same as the hard copies or not but it would be a place to start??

hope it helps
