Unfortunately my switch has like 6 wires coming from it and I have one its marked yellow that’s hot . Because your tractor has a solenoid now and didn't when new it's been rewired to accommodate. You'll need to make your own schematic diagram and use that for repairs. You may be able to follow one of the generic diagrams created and modified here on the site but you'll certainly need to post pics to see what you have.

I've been using HD units made by Cole Hersee. They're not cheap 1. by money spent or 2. on quality build. Worth it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,161 #31 Posted October 21 Go with the Ford solenoid as suggested by @Racinbob, all auto parts stores have them on the shelf and the price is reasonable. https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=969a37d7d8df40c7&rlz=1C1JZAP_enUS981US981&sxsrf=ADLYWII4NE-azts1Xg9jsxgoNC58E7Q3jg:1729551989449&q=1976+ford+f150+solenoid&udm=28&fbs=AEQNm0Aa4sjWe7Rqy32pFwRj0UkWd8nbOJfsBGGB5IQQO6L3J03RPjGV0MznOJ6Likin94oGSh4l60tfPppA0C5BN3Bom6kHGpJHn7EVuNALQGJ5ECLZXcQeFVI9ZjFEYIlvC4A0X1A5hYXVZIchksHpMH7WV02tkRK7mBeeFqk9Ny5yKL-imh-pD9ICs2NKoknEXBlMy1ySIrn9rDpp5YVd48typlFRTQ&ved=1t:220175&ictx=111&biw=1366&bih=607&dpr=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
