Brake, PTO, and seat switches. I have never seen the exact machine you are

are orange. I looked at the service manual for your machine and there is
a ton of info on the electrical. Worth a read for sure.

That is for tractors since 2011 and mine is at least 8 years older. Phew! I don't have to read it.

Well the actual wire to the small solenoid terminal is blue, FWIW, but once you follow it back to the first connector it connects to orange. Which makes sense, perhaps, if the authority to send juice has to come from one of the stupid safety switches that only makes this harder for an electrical incompetent like me.

Meanwhile, I have no trouble keeping my hands and feet away from a moving blade on a machine that lacks them.
