I am in the process of figuring out the wiring on my JD60 Orchard. I have both the sevice manual and the operators manual which show wiring diagrams with the operators manual being more specific with the wiring diagram for the Orchard. The new regulator from JD shows one of the terminals marked F whereas the manual calls it L. What is the difference?? I really don't want to hook this up wrong and fry something!!

Leon, in the event you dont have a diagram or your tractors wires and their colors dont seem to match one, here are some basics by which you can figure it out without a diagram. On the regulators that have 3 (Bat, Arm/Gen, and Fld) terminals only, you have to be able to both charge the battery and supply the light and ignition loads, so the VR's Bat terminal goes to the load (non battery) side of the ammeter where the lights and ignition switch are also fed. Now, with the 4 wire (Bat Arm/Gen, Fld, Load) or 3 wire (Bat, Fld, Load) Voltage Regulators (some 4 wire types only have 3 attachable with the Arm out bottom) the VR's Bat terminal goes to the ammeters load side, BUT the Load (L) terminal feeds the ignition switch thereby energizing the lights and ignition versus the ammeters load side feedign them as on the pure 3 wire VR's. Clear as Mud????? Good Luck, Ol John T Nordhoff

Thanks Clooney, appreciate the help as the electrics on just about anything are not my strong point, especially if they don't quite follow the wiring diagram.

Leon, I have found the wire diagrams for the old 2-cylinder Deere's are a little generic & they sometimes use a basic diagram to cover a few years or models. Be careful using diagrams in owners manuals as they could be for a different year & don't reflect any changes or updates.
~I have a pretty complete set for the 2-cylinder era & they are lacking in some detail and/or changes that I know exist. ~The best option is to find a good plain wire diagram of your model & just re-wire it to that diagram, don't try to use a couple of diagrams as that can lead to problems.....

Leon, the original regulator could have had terminals [F], [BAT], [GEN or A] & [L]. Most replacement regulators just have [F], [BAT] & [GEN or A]. The original might have just had a wire coming from the bottom of the regulator instead of an actual [GEN or A] terminal.
~On the replacement regulator without the [L] terminal, the "L" wire [if it has one] that went to the [L] terminal is just hooked to the [BAT] terminal with the battery wire.
~In reference to your question the [F] terminal is the field control & the [L] terminal is the load terminal, they are not interchangeable.
~The [F] on the regulator hooks to the [Fld] on the generator {smaller of the two},,,,the [Gen or A] on the regulator hooks to the [A] on the generator {larger of the two},,,,The [BAT] on the regulator hooks to the battery wire coming from the ammeter,,,,if it has a load wire coming forward from the ignition/light switch it would hook to the [BAT] terminal also. (I don't believe the 60 does though).
~If in doubt ask more questions, if you hook the field up wrong you could easily fry the regulator .
