If you actually saw the diagrams and have a relationship with a dealer that will actually let you look, could you possibly ask them to email me that diagram? Given what I've been through, and the time crunch not finding the info has left me under, you have no idea how much it would be appreciated. I'm still looking to get a manual ASAP, but my email is open if you can do that for me.

That all said, I actually stopped at yet another Deere dealership Thurs morning with the intention of asking about the diagram. Because the service guys were at lunch I wound up just standing arpund shooting the breeze with one of the parts guys while he helped me find a few of the wire connectors I needed to get the rest of the wiring going. Based on our conversation it seems to me that Deere's biggest problem is that they simply have gotten WAY TOO BIG, and have their hands into WAY TOO MANY PRODUCTS. I knew there have nearly always been 'yellow Deere'/construction equipment dealers, and 'green Deere'/agricultural dealers. Nowdays it goes WAY, WAY beyond just that division. Nowdays there are dealers for homeowner equipment, commercial equipment, gold course equipment, construction equipment, farm equipment up to a certain HP, farm equipment from the lower HP and larger, and on and on. Within those divisions the dealerships then carry certain types of equipment. For instance the dealership I stopped at handled the large ag equipment, including combines, but NOT cotton picking combines. Saddly, to make matters worse, if you owned one piece of each type of equipment you'd have to go to a different dealership for each individual piece because Deere makes it a serious violation of company policy to even order parts for a class/type of equipment you haven't paid their licensing fee for.

While I understand the differences between construction and ag equipment, and that many companies with both product lines do seperate the two, me it's just taking things a bit too far when you can't go to a 'green' Deere store and get information and/or buy parts for any piece of 'green' Deere equipment.

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a ...
