Wouldn't it be nice if that was it jinman...
I was out in the barn with the snow blowing in on me working this so I can report where I'm stuck.
In the back of my manual there's a bunch of wiring schematics I had forgotten about. According to the manual relay #9 is the front lamp relay... Now, let me say the manual is already suspect because it also says really #3 is the glow plug lamp but there's nothing there and I know from a past repair the lamp is tied to the timer relay... But I digress... It also said the hazards are relay #4... So with the hazards on I yanked what I thought number 4 would be and out went the blinkers...
Took that relay and used it as known good and with the work lights (rocker switch) lights on and the main lights on moved the known good relay around the panel.
Nothing. Work lights died when I pulled relay 5 and came back on when I added the known good relay from #4... Then the drumroll on #9 - front lamp relay. No lights, replaced with the known good relay and still no lights. Turned the knob switch to make sure it was live. Grrrrr, darkness...
I also confirmed the issue is not the connection under the hood as testing on the plug side is 0V so I penetrated a wire on the dead side upstream from the switch and there's no voltage there too...
So, I am kinda not sure what to do next. Wiring harness mess is in great shape, no rubbing wear, no critter nesting. Everything else is cool on the tractor. Maybe I give up on ever having lights again...
One thing that's also depressing about the manual schematics... The wire numbers only match up about half the time to what's really wired up and working.
Nutshell summary:
Rotary switch tested out.
Rotary harness tested. When jumped lights still do not come on.
Relay 1-9 tested and checked out.
All fuses are good.
Power to switch - no power under hood. Work lights, flashers, aux light in rear all are shining bright. (I am suddenly missing my old 8N)
HELP!
(was just rebooking at the diagram jinman... Yes thats different, I have a block with 9 (minus the one in slot 3) and then the 3 below, like your where it labels the headlight one... Those 2 down below are a different type. I also had switched those two to test for a bad one there since the manual schematic isn't a diagram telling me what #9 relay looks like)
