Today I pulled my glows as I continue to work through the electrical issues to get the glow system up to snuff. I found a larger wire with a huge female spade running between the valve cover and the water inlet radiator hose connection and for the life of me, I see no male spade to connect to - it definitely looks OEM vs a wired in add on - what could this be?
Mystery Wire on B6000 with Large Female Spade Connector End?

I looked at the wiring diagram and have marked the largest diameter wire with a green arrow.
It is the main power from the starter/battery terminal to the key switch .
If the wire is solid red then this is it.
If it is black with a red stripe then it supplies the glow plugs.

Bet you look at the end of the plug it's not a spade yet it's where two round connection go into, specifically two headlight wires.
Could be as headlights are non op! I will look close and at this point will most likely need to pull engine shroud to revealwhat I hope will be a couple of dangling leads from headlights

my guess... headlight power...
it looks like it's Brown in colour, has a cover over the 'splitter' where 2 males join the female,and kind dangling near the 'bonnet'. Also the wiring diagram shows it !

Great! I wonder where the headlight harness (male) ends are hiding? Do they drop down and pop out on the exhaust side of the engine or the air cleaner side? Hopefully, I will find them tucked up somewhere - flashlight time
well, at least I have the light switch and the harness running up to where it would connect to the the two front headlights. Missing are the bulbs, sockets and harness

Thanks Wolfman, I can see where a socket is pushed into housing and rotated to lock but as I have no housing socket for comparison, not sure what to buy that fits our lamp housings - are they somewhat universal? anyone do this quick conversion recently and have part numbers? Might have to pull hood and remove lamp housing and head over to a FLAPS to see what fits

I don't know tractors well, but I think you need something from this diagram, if not, maybe one of the other parts in the selector will get you what you need - https://www.messicks.com/KU/84574
