 Topic: Where is the Headlight Junction?
Posted: 04 Oct 2023 at 9:02pm |
I am putting in a wiring harness from Steiner Tractors ( https://www.steinertractor.com/ACS2925-Wiring-Harness-Kit-for-tractors-with-1-wire-alternator- ) in my WD35. Sorry Steve in NJ, I did not know about you until recently. For the headlights it has a red wire to the headlights and it says to connect it to the headlight junction. The red wire will not reach into the area of the headlights and the wires on the head lights are to short to reach the red wire. So, what is this junction? Am I missing something? I could make it work by adding some wire of my own, but I would rather do it the right way.
What is the best way to make this work?

WD wiring diagram shows it between the left and right lamp, close to the L/H Lamp.

So that would be found under the fuel tank support that also supports the lights? As found on mine it is a splitter connector. Power enters the single side and has two female out connections
A similar connector is in the WD45 but that tractor was rewired and the connector has been relocated along with the lights. They were moved to the fenders

Newbie error. I did not think to check the parts manual. There was no headlight junction on the original WD45. They just put a bolt through the three wires! That resulted in a bare hot wire. I will be changing that!
Thanks, Stan

When I was a little guy, my Dad told me that area was a "secret toolbox" and he usually kept a empty soup can in there to put over the muffler it the tractor had to sit out. A good spot for a mouse to build a home if you seldom checked it! RLM

On the original WD and 45 each wire had a small eye terminal (3 wires) and a small bolt thru to connect them. A wire from the harness came up from below the gas tank thru a small hole and a grommet just above the front end of the starter motor. The bolt and terminals on the wires did have cotton tape or cotton wire loom where they joined, but being cotton, in 70+ years since then the cotton has completely disintegrated!!!
