help locating a 12 volt plug

[Robert_in_NY]

I have been searching online to no avail. I called Messicks parts department but the guy couldn't help me either and suggested I check radio shack. Radio shack the girl admitted she had no clue and couldn't help me. So I'm going to bother you guys now. This outlet is in the cab on my kubota M8540 narrow tractor. Its three flat tabs with one being ground, another a 5 amp power when the switch is turned to acc and the third is a 30 amp tied directly to the battery. Its behind the seat so its hard to get a good picture but the socket is around 2.3 centimeters if I read the ruler correctly from twisting around while standing on my head in there. So hopefully the picture explains what i have better then i can.

G'day have seen them fitted to some of the JDs over here so maybe worth trying one of their dealers? Good luck with it I never seem to have much luck finding the right plugs to fit some of these things even when they are a factory fit, I don't know why they can't have a standard like they did with hyd finally

Robert I spent about an hour looking for it, on Mouser web site, and used google goggles to try and find it too.. no luck.. IF it were mine, I would rip it out and replace with a chassis mount of 2 sets of anderson powerpoles. A heck of a lot more available and you can buy all sorts of premade cables to any other type of connector you would want, including cigar lighter, and SAE connector etc. that is what I would do.



Chassis Mount for 2 Powerpoles Sets (4 conductors)

Excellent suggestion. I did a search for "john deere 3 pin 30 amp accessory connector" and found some connectors that look the same:

Guy from Messick's must have been a rookie. It is a common ag power point connection. I sold one yesterday with a circuit breaker and about 8 feet of cord. Listed as the power supply for a 648 NH round baler among other things.
Widely used by most ag manufacturers in North American tractors. Mating plug is commonly available. Call me today if you need part numbers 518-398-7154.
