2001 JD 2520 fuse block

[cdavid1944]

The manual I have for my JD 2520 shows a fuse block with multiple fuses and empty spaces. On my 2001 JD 2520 there is only a small connector with 4 fuses numbered 1 (10 amp), 2 (10 amp), 3 (15 amp) and 4 (25 amp). I want 12 volts out the back to run the pump on my sprayer. My question is what do 1,2,3,4 control and where do I get live 12 volts. The manual also shows a cigar lighter plug beside the rockshaft lever. That doesn't exist either. Can anyone help me with an electrical diagram for this early model? Thanks.

Welcome to TBN

It would be best to run a new +12v power fed from the battery to power your sprayer. The factory harness is sized for very little growth, and the draw of a sprayer pump may be to much. Use 12 gauge wire and a 20 amp fuse and you will be all set.

I echo the kennyd welcome. He always has good information.

You might want to check your model year. The current 2520 was not introduced until 2006. There was a different 2520 in the sixties/seventies.

I'd amend that suggestion to using a currently ignition hot source to trigger an appropriately sized relay for that battery sourced power.

I like having everything shut down when I kill the engine, including electrically powered accessories/attachments.

I stand corrected, it is 2006 not 2001. Thanks for the correction.

Yes, great point...I was trying to keep it simple for the OP.
