I just purchased the GB2513 electric deflector for the BX2750 snowblower. The instructions say to connect the power lead to the ACC position off the ignition switch. But, there's no accessory position. I was going to try to spice into one of the spare fuse positions, probably the 15A fuse. Anyone install one of these deflectors and have some wiring advice?

The BX doesn't have a accessory position in the ignition switch, but what I would do is to tap into the wire that feeds the headlamp circuit with a relay and have the relay sending power to the switch that controls the activator. This way, when the tractor is running the blower chute can be adjusted, but when you shut the tractor down, there is no chance that the chute adjuster can drain the electrical system if it somehow jammed. This is a safety precaution in my opinion. I wouldn't hard wire it to any circuit that is live without the switch being in the run position. One of the problems with all of the instructions that come with these devices is that they are written for the "generic" tractor, not the specific model that you are installing it on. Let us know how it works when the install is done, and take pictures of the install to show us how it goes together. Don't know where in MA you live, but if not too far from Southbridge, I would be glad to come by and give you a hand. You do have a garage to work in don't you?????? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I am serious about the offer... send me a PM if you want/need help.... Junk...

I can't remember which one, but on my BX22 there is a fused, switched spare circuit. On the right hand side, behind the battery cover you should see a fuse holder attached to a wiring harness. In that bunch of fuses was an unused spare. I checked it with the voltmeter to make sure it was switched. I connected my snowblower attachments to that circuit, and just poped in a fuse.

I don't know if the BX2230 is the same, but on my BX22 there is an unused four wired plug inside the battery compartment. One of the wires is a ground (black), one is powered all the time (don't remember color) and one is powered when the ignition switch is on (red with black stripe). I haven't figured out the fourth wire yet (white). If you have such a plug, I think you could connect to the wire which is powered when the ignition switch is on.

Tom,

You may just want to pop open the dash and use a mulitmeter to test a few wires. It shouldn't take long to find one that is energized with the ignition switch. Since you are only feeding a relay, the draw shouldn’t matter a bit.

I wired the new lights on my B7610 that way. It took about 90 seconds to locate a suitable wire. There just aren't that many in there.

Good luck.

Now you have to purchase the chute rotator to complete the controls, and then comes the cab and heater. Who ever said that owning a tractor is inexpensive. It is just like a boat, "a hole in the water that you keep pouring money into and it never fills up".... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I just came in from the cold garage after spending design time with my hydraulic rotator installation. A few more hours and it is done and all my controls will be on the joy stick... however, it will still be cold, since I still haven't decided on a cab brand or model... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

You are only 45 minutes from me, so if you would like to come here and see how I did it, you are welcome. I can even get some of the parts for you that you will need and give you the shopping list for the rest. For the most part, you don't need a lot of tools to do this project and those that you will need, I can supply, or do the modification to the parts for you... Junk.....
