The owner shows the damaged connector under the tank, explains why John Deere wants you to buy a whole harness, and names an aftermarket source who made a replacement plug. Useful mainly for owners chasing this exact fuel gauge issue.
Posted by the Jake S. channel, an owner sharing a personal repair experience rather than a professional or dealer perspective.
The wiring harness runs under the tractor to the fuel sending unit, and brush or tree limbs can snag it and tear the plug off the bottom of the fuel tank.
No, John Deere wants you to buy the entire wiring harness instead of just the one small plug for the fuel sending unit.
Heath at Crushing Ag Supply in Kentucky can make a replacement plug with pigtails and weatherproof fittings once you send him a picture of your sending unit.
