Bow_Extreme 538 #1 Posted August 21, 2022 For those who want an original fuse block setup on your Wheel Horse 520, here’s an option: Fuse Block & Connectors: Fuse Block: 12004943 Delphi Pack-Con III Black 4 Way Fuse Block Connector ATC Fuse Terminals: 12020335-L Delphi Pack-Con III Female Terminal for 16-14 AWG Two Position/Terminal Buss Bar: 12004563 Delphi Pack-Con III Female Terminal for 16-14 AWG Crimp Tool: Astro 9477 w/Open Barrel & D-Sub, v3.5(H) jaws. These crimpers work fairly well for these terminals but, the buss bar terminal is a little challenging. Almost need a custom crimp tool set for the buss bar. A little creativity will get you there. Installing this will avoid splices and odd or oversized wire combinations which can cause issues. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnmor 6,851 #2 Posted August 21, 2022 You can buy a Dorman 85668 for as little as $3.14 and it has the connectors, of course there is shipping. You can get them at some local auto parts stores as well. When you have the fuse block out, add a 15 amp SAE connector to the fourth position for accessories. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTW , how does your PTO LEVER WORK ? , notice rusty / crusty , no insults intended , added 3/8 - 7/16 , washers grease at the start point next to battery , firmed it up for very smooth / solid action , also added a HEIM joint to the end , removed trunnion , eliminate any scraping , dragging , works like it should , been there , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I’m aware of these issues and I’ve done very similar to what you have. I’m working towards starting this tractor first. After I confirm it runs well, I will take care of those things. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
