A/F 751 log loader
Posted by Beatle on Tuesday, October 25, 2016 12:07 AM
I will try to explain my issue. I had to buy a new harness for my 751-log loader.  All the wires are connected to the loader and stop underneath the loader to a bar with screws.  The idea was that you could unscrew the wires from the loader using this” bar” that someone added. So, I can hook up the harness to the “Bar” and match the colored wires which are red, green, black and yellow. Now here is the problem, I don’t know where the red, green, black and yellow wires at the other end of the harness go.  I can’t find a picture of the bottom of the control box to know where the wires get soldered. As you know the control box has two buttons, Red and green.
I hope this makes some sense so that someone can help.

American Flyer has a common mentality with their wiring.  Green will be a primary function, red a secondary function, yellow for a light and black for the base. 

In the case of the 751 the red will be for the solenoid that shoves the log into the grip of the log holder. The green goes to the motor the black is the base and the yellow to the lamp.

I found a drawing of the control button,  can not send it but will try to tell you where the wires go

Lay the button down on a table in front of you bottom side up rear of box facing away from you

if correct position there will be five eyelets in row at back of control 1 thru 5 left to right

next row finger eyelet 6 green wire attaches here , a rectrangle bar 7 finger eyelet two yellow wires attach here one to loader one to transformer, 8,9,10 no, far right side finger eyelet red wire attaches there. I hope this makes sense to you, just be sure rear of box is away from you.

                         green 6     7 8 9 10   11 red

                                          o

 black should go to base on transformer, one yellow to fixed voltage on transformer
