Ford 5000

[MyOldKyFord]

Have a 1967 Ford 5000 Diesel. The wiring harness is fried. Bought a new one which came with no diagrams or directions. After scouring the Internet and some trial and error I think I m getting close-ish to done. Here s where I m stuck...the ignition that s on the tractor is labeled On the black plastic by the male ignition posts Lucas EnglNd 70SA. One of the ignition posts is a wide blade (all the others are thin). None of the new wiring harness female terminals for the ignition have a wide terminal to slide over the ignition. I could use the wide female terminal from the old harness to slice onto the new harness but I m not sure which harness wires go to which post on the ignition.
In the pics the the green is regulator B to key starter switch battery. The red wire is regulator b to starter motor or solenoid. The blue and white wire is doesn t have a position on the generator regulator.
Sorry I’ve tried to attach pics but they won’t post. If you’re willing to help me out on this please message me and I’ll send you pics that way.

Hello OldFord welcome to YT. See if your method of
posting pictures followed this process. Pictures post
through the ..Browse or Choose files.. button just
below where it says ..Upload Photos/Videos.. down
lower in the ..New post and reply windows. Clicking
that will give you a choice to select the file or folder
the pictures are stored in on your PC or phone. Then
select the photo from the file and ..Add.. it. They
cannot be pasted into the text area as a file. I would
suggest posting one picture in a reply, then 2 in the
next if you are adding more just to test out the size
limits.

The Image I provide here might work. There are many found when searching for Ford 5000 wiring diagrams. Jim

Need to repace ignition switch on Ford 5000 diesel. How do you get the cowl off to get to it? I took the switch out hoping wires were long enough to get to the terminals but no go.

Try YouTube. I've done it in the past.

You may need to fish the wires up and out from behind the dual power lever bracket in order to pull them down far enough to stick out the bottom of the cowling
Removing the cowling is a fairly difficult job

Man I looked everywhere on YouTube and didn't find anything

 

[Vito]

would it be easier to trace the wires back a way and splice a new longer wire in so it extends out of the cowl?

Yea we tried that first. The wiring would not go up and over whatever controls was back in there. If it did it would be long enough. And I couldn't pull them through because of the switch on the end.
Really seems the cowl needs to come off.

Seems it's time to start removing sheet metal and a bunch of other stuff.

I ended pulling the tac out, then pulled with key switch wires out and used a volt meter to see what’s what, then use the volt meter on the key switch position and see what tabs do what. Once the tractor run, snake them back under and attach to them to the key switch and then snake the key switch back into the hole put the nut back on
