Farmtrac 60 Ignition Switch

[gibs]

I received an ignition switch for a Farmtrac 435 instead of a 60. Will this switch work on a Farmtrac 60 and if so, where can i find the wiring diagram for this switch?

The 60 morphed into the 555 and the 435 and 555 share the same part # for the switch. The 60 switch has a different part #. Pull the switch and check. My service manual for the 555 is in reality a manual for the 60 and has wiring for that

I got my hands on a Farmtrac 60 repair manual (thanks Sushil) but it doesn't have a wiring diagram. Can anyone tell me what color wire goes where on the 4 position ignition switch? I have:
Yellow
Red with blue stripe and a Pink
Small blue
Red and Orange
Black
Brown with red stripe.

Thanks in advance

Hi gibs,
I have a shop manual I bought from the supplier whose banner flies at to top of this page. It is not a quality product to say the least. I have tried several times to get them to answer my phone calls but everytime someone does answer they say, "It's the other person who handles that, call back later." Anyway I have a wiring diagram that is absolutely not readable. You can see the diagram ok, but the wire identification is so small and blury you can't make it out. If you still need the diagram, I am friends with the dealer who sold my Farmtrac back in '06 and I am sure if I take a copy of my diagram to him he would give me the wire ID's from his shop manual. And if you want to try to desipher this thing I have I would be happy to email it to you. Being able to only post JPEG's of less than 100kbytes on the forum the resolution would be further diminished. In an email I can send a 5Mbyte pic easily. Just let me know.

Regards,
Willie

That would be fantastic if you could email me the JPEG. My email address is: thomas.w.youngblood@gmail.com. If I can't decipher anything, I may take you up on your offer to check with your dealer. To explain what happened, I had to use a socket to remove my old ignition switch and it was turning the entire switch. The wires twisted up and wet pulled off the spade connectors when I noticed what was going on. I guess you are never to old to learn (relearn) things. I really appreciate your offer and thanks again.

Ok sent it, let me know when you get it. If it helps , I am glad.

Probably the same one I sent on the CD. You should be able to make something out of it

Got it and we are up and running. I was able to trace the wires back to the fuse box on the diagram then check my fuse box and find the color code. Of course, some colors on fuse box were not the same as some ignition wires, but it cranks and runs. Some lights still don't work, but since I go to bed by dark I guess it really doesn't matter but that is another project. Thanks again to you and Grandpaj; I would have never made it without your help.

Tom
