I cannot locate the fuse box, On my 1983 545 Ford Backhoe with loader. Can someone help me please?

If I remember correctly, the fuse on the light switch is the only fuse on it. No fuse panel like newer ones

The 545C was made several years after the 545 left production. Many things are different between them, including that fuse panel on the C. The parts site says that the 545 was made from 1979-1985, and the only mention of a fuse box in the electrical system parts drawing says that was added in September 1986. I think that the only two fuses on a 545 were one in the light switch and another in-line fuse in the wire powering the instrument cluster that you remove the cluster to access.
