1978 C165 Fuse Locations

[ssoles 0]

New owner. Trying to find the location of fuses and fuse block? Are they visible. I have looked at the wiring diagram but do not see them visibly on the tractor. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Follow the wire from the amp meter back to the battery. 

If you don't find it good chance a PO removed it. 

Not uncommon for a PO to hack up wiring trying to find an electrical problem. 

Hopefully a member will chime in with an unmolested 165.

More than 

If you don't find one you should add one per the wiring diagram.

Do you have pics of the tractor?

 

A 1978 should be a C161. Not a 165. 

161 is an older style red hood. 

165 is the wider black hood.  

 

Might be important to clarify just in case the wiring is different.

I have an unmolested C-165 automatic, I can check it out tomorrow and take some pictures of the wiring harness.

As Jim @WHX?? said (can't believe I'm saying this and agreeing with him!)  Follow the wire from the ammeter. Usually it goes to the solenoid and is on the same terminal as the positive battery cable is on. My C145 had a fuse holder on that wire. 

 

This pic is for reference only. It is not from a tractor The fat red wire is from the battery. The small red wire with the tape is going to the the key switch ect. A fuse holder on your tractor should be on this wire 

 

 

Or on this diagram Follow the green wire from the solenoid to the ammeter. fuse should be somewhere on there.
