IH 584 and CaseIH 885 trailer sockets

DanTo · Jun 17, 2012

I am installing a baler mounted moisture tester on my baler and am looking for a source for power to it from the tractor. I will be using an IH 584 or a Case IH 885 tractor. Both have tailer sockets on them, but only have power to two terminals for the turn signals/flashers. Owners manual says the other pins can be wired for power. There seems to be wires to the back of the socket, but am wondering where the other ends are under the hood and where they should be hooked up? Also, where can I buy the receiver to plug into socket. It is different than a regular trailer light socket. Haven"t called the CaseIH dealer yet to see if they have them. I was just thinking since I may be using either tractor on the baler, it would be easier to be able to plug into the trailer socket, rather than wiring into the ignition switch or somewhere else on both tractors. Thanks for any and all help.

Hi Danto, depending of the vintage of your 584 and 884 there may be a molex connector behind the seat under the deck plate. There is usually 1 wire with a lug on it that goes under the nut on one of the deck plate bolts, this the only ground wire for the rear of the tractor. Since you have the trailer light outlet your tractors wiring may be similar to 95 Series with the one harness.

Hi, it"s the same socket like on semi-trailer. Go to a truck parts dealer and you will find one.Run a hot wire from the battery, with a breaker or a fuse and a ground in your socket. Bernard le mecano
