Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): JD GT275, b battery, solenoid


Question
I am trying to wire a GT275 PTO switch without a wiring diagram.  The switch has 5 posts and I am looking to find out which wires connect to which post.  It has the original wiring in place and needed to no by position or color where each of the five wires connects.  I sure would appreciate any help.  Thanks.

Answer
Hello Kevin:

The Letters on the Ign Switch are Usually as Follows; B = Battery, This will be the Red Wire to the Positive Side of the Solenoid. G = Ground, This is for the Black Ground Wire. S = Solenoid, This is for the White Sire to the Small Post on the Solenoid. M = Magneto, This is for the Black Wire to the Magneto. ** I Suggest you Check and Make Sure the M Lug is Grounded when the Ign is Switch is in the Off Position (with the Ground Wire Atttached to the Switch** On Some Switches the M Lug is Sometimes a Hot Lug.** A Magneto is Grounded ONLY, No Voltage Goes to a Magneto. A Magneto is Grounded to Stop it from Firing the Plug. Last is the L Lug. The L Lug is Usually for the Head Lights. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Engine and Mower at this Site Addy, http://jdpc.deere.com/jdpc/servlet/com.deere.u90490.partscatalog.view.servlets.H... and Enter the Model Numbers and Click Find. Then Select your Model from the Search Results Area. Then Select the Sectional File. Then Select the Section of the Mower you Wish to View Online. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck
