Tractor Accessory Plug In Panel

Tractor Accessory Plug In Panel TRACTORS Accessories 6-3-7 Tractor accessory hookups are made easier with a labor-saving hookup panel rigged up by John Paul Jackson and his son Mike, of Moweaqua, Ill. Rather than run wires from each accessory to the battery, the Jacksons ran one hot wire from the starter side of the battery to a panel in the cab with four male-female type plug connectors, all mounted on a wooden panel attached to the wall of the tractor cab. This lets them quickly hook up or disconnect their accessories, which include a two-way FM radio, a spray monitor, an electric on-off switch for the sprayer and an anhydrous ammonia on-off switch. Since their other tractors are outfitted with similar accessory panels, they can quickly move equipment from one tractor to another. The Jacksons installed an easily-accessible fuse in the main 8-ga. "feed" wire to guard against overload.
