While on a familiarization trip thru my downloaded owner/operator
manual for the antique Yanmar YM1500D tractor I just bought (mfd
1975-79) I saw a fuse box ... so I decided to go exploring ! And I found
that fuse box , and I popped the cover off , and I found ... fuse wires
on screw terminals ! OK , it ain't exactly state of the art , but it
fills the need . I also found tucked in the cover a small plastic
package of what I assume to be fuse wires . What I don't know is what
the amperage rating of these wires is - I'm hoping one of you might have
an idea . Eventually I will replace this fuse box with a unit that has
plug in fuses , but for right now I'm going to clean up the original and
see if I can get the lights/horn/turnsigs working .
I have been bitten by The Tractorbug . And it feels great . I gotta
get this one running well so I can do some much-needed and well-deserved
repairs/maintenance to Rusty , a 1982 JD 317 . He's been a great little
tractor , but he just doesn't have the (m)ass to get the needed traction
. This new tractor will be able to drag logs out of the woods that would
just laugh at Rusty spinnin' his wheels futilely .
I think that this may be what you have:

Yes and no ... these are pieces about an inch and a half long , bare wire . I have a package of "fusible links" rated for 15 amps on the way . Meanwhile the tractor project is on hold while awaiting parts - and because a neighbor gave me almost a cord of firewood that needs to be split and stacked . It ain't gonna split itself !
