I have a 3 cylinder Farmtrac 665DTC which has the Carraro 12 spd.

I had to split the tractor to repair the hydraulic pump drive gear, and I unhooked the black and red wire that goes to the neutral safety switch.

Now that I have the tractor back together, I've run into a problem: I don't remember where that wire goes- as in I don't remember where the neutral safety switch is.

This is the red and black wire that runs along the firewall with a blue wire running parrallel. My study of the wiring diagram and my other experiments lead me to believe I unhooked it from the neutral safety switch.

I've looked in the parts book for the 665DTC and I can't find the neutral safety switch listed, same goes for the Factory Service Manual.

I know that in general the Neutral Safety Switch is going to be on top of the transmission, but I need more information than that. What does the switch look like ? Where is it near ?

Thanks for your time.

On my 555 it is under the shifter cover on the hi lo shifter although the trannys are different

I have the same tractor, but mine is several miles away. Haven't been by in a while. Next time I'm at it, I'll look.

I'm sure you've long since found the sensor, but I was at the tractor today and thought I'd look around. I found a sensor which I assume is the neutral safety sensor. It's on the right side of the gear box housing just in front of the rear wheel axle housing. There is what looked to be a sensor with four connector tabs or prongs. The red and black wire is connected to the right side prong while the black or blue (it was dark) was connected to the left prong. The top and bottom prongs had nothing connecting to them. Here's a bad picture that might help show what it looked like.
