My fan switch went out in my tractor so now only one fan blows and only on high. The current switch has off-low-high.

The new switch I got has off-low-med- high. I put an ohm meter on the switch and the orange highlights are what is touching in each position. The bower fans I have only have a black and red wire. I labeled the picture with letters beside the terminals. How do I wire this switch in?

The fact only one motor run's and only run's on high lead's me to think you have one bad motor plus a switching problem. Before doing anything else,you have to know that there's not a third wire or if instead of third wire,motors are using chassis as negative. If you are unsure how that's done,say so and I'll walk you through it. If you do know how,do it and we can proceed.
Before hooking wires up and turning switch on we need to know (A) If old switch and how it is connected to motors is original equipment. (B) If there's a resistor inside switch or resistor between switch and motors(C) If low fan is one motor and high is two motors or if both motors have a high speed and low speed (D) Are you positive only two wires go to motors and that both wires go to both motors? If indeed there's only two wires and fans have two speeds,one wire is negative (aka - ) and other is positive (aka +) and there has to be a resistor. Bad resistors are more common than bad switches.

To answer your question about new switch,IF ALL THOSE ORANGE CONTACTS READ SAME OHMS,this is how switch was intended to be connected. B= battery(AKA +). C= pilot light that tell's you when switch is on. L= Low , M= Medium , H= High. Just use any two for your 2 speed motors. If ohms are different,there's a resistor built into switch and wireing is different. Questions??????
