John Deere 955 necessary electrical to operate

[Slowshow]

Hello, I have a JD 955 that was pretty abused for a lot of it’s life, then sat for about 4+ years. Picked it up from my neighbor for $500 and got it running decent. I’ve been using it for the past 6 months on my property, fixing the bare minimums as I go. all the basic mechanical functions worked, but none of the electrical accessories. Now, rodents just chewed the wiring behind the dash.

My question is this: Can I just run new wiring through the key switch to the starting, charging, and fuel shut off solenoid? Do I need anything else? Just trying to get a few more years out of this machine.

I'd suggest the best help for you would be to get the service tech manual for the 955. It has all the wiring diagrams along with a ton of other helpful information. Visit your Deere dealer or go online to search and find that manual. More than just an operator's manual.

Sounds like you have a good deal on your hands, and sorry to hear about the pesky rodents.. Very destructive critters.

PTO also requires power to activate the magnet in the lever, I have a PDF of the technical manual you’re welcome to, just shoot me your email if wanted
