snow plow wiring
I just picked up a used snow plow. It is a john deere plow with a small hydraulic pump and cylinder on it. The pump has a wiring connector plug-in containing 2 wires. Can someone tell me how to wire this up? Or have a picture with a diagram on it? Does the dealers carry this wiring harmess plus switch? Oh, it is going on a hpx. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply! I'll have to look at the wires in the morning but I'm almost sure neither of the wires that go to the female plug are red. Your method of wiring sounds pretty straight forward. On the pump outlet ports, it says UP and DN. Will the pump wired as you mention work or will I need some sort of 3 way rocker switch? Seems like I would need to power the pump one way for up, the other way for down. I would like to put the switch buy the headlight switch, is the dealer only place to get one that size, what about say radio shack? Sorry for more questions!

My pump is similar but not exact to the one you linked. I found a picture of the plow if I can figure out how to show it or link to it. Looks like I need to find one of those switch's then it's off to the races! I'd like to put that switch in one of the blank spots next to the headlight switch. Are the sizes pretty standard?

Bigknobbies, It is not a powertach plow. Wish it was though! Thanks for the offer of taking pictures! We just got a bunch of snow and of course high winds so I'd like to get this thing going.

You sure have been alot of help to me working on this, I greatly appreciate it!
Looking at the picture of the remote and relay, would I just wire directly from battery a positive (hot) and ground wire to (2) of those big connectors and then run the small wires to the pump? If so, then that does look easy! Have you ever ordered from this company before?

on the motor it has this: CIM
PD-50F-1008 12V DC
414058
IGN PRO E-186696
062005
There are no markings at all on the hydraulic pump. I have looked and looked for info on the motor, very little luck. I'll see if I can get a close up of it.

I'm making progress, I think. I ordered a switch and 2 relays from the dealer. The switch only has 3 spade connectors, not like the one you linked to ( double pole dbl throw). The relays are the same: pin 85 and pin 86 power the coil, and pin 30 has it marked as common, pin 87 is normally closed and pin 87a is open. I have tried all kinds of combinations and can not figure out how to wire this thing. I wished it was like the link you sent over on the first page. Have any clue how to put 2 relays and a switch in there? I'm figuring one relay is up, the other is down, then somehow polarity has to change to reverse motor. This wiring is gonna drive me nuts

I'll reply quick then take a peek at your link. I have 1 switch that is for up and down. It is spring loaded so depress for say up, then relaese and it goes to the middle position.
85 87a 87

} |
86 30
This is how the relay is, sorry for the lousy symbology. The coil is energized by 85 & 86. 87 is held normally closed until you give it some juice, then it goes over to 87a.
My switch like I metioned has 3 connections marked 4 on the top,5 in the middle, 6 on the bottom. Now I'm gonna go look the link over. Thanks for your assistance!

Thanks for the info. I may have to go that route if I can't gett this to work. The switch and relays I purchased were from the Deere dealer and on the print for the JD plow. The print showed 2 relays, one switch. I spoke with one of the technicians very briefly about trying to get a schematic and he said wire it with a 3 way switch in a house in mind. All of the prints they have are on a computer and he didn't have the ability to print.

Thanks for the help! You are right that there is nothing worse to have the parts and can't get something to work! Well, today I was able to confer with a electrician and told him what I wanted to do. He scratched hi noggin, then began dawing. I whipped out your print and he said " thats it!" He told me what leads to hook where etc. I got home, follwed your print and wired it up. It works great! I can't thank all of those that helped me enough; thanks for taking the time from your schedule to help a stranger! If I can repay the advice some time I certainly will.
