Wiring harness

[kylev]

Anyone have exact lenghts for making a wiring harness? Also what size wire and type should I use. The old wire look much like wire I use to wire buildings. THHN??

12 gauge??
I got the connectors down pat I just want to make sure I have big enough wire to do the job.

I was looking at getting the wire loom off of ebay to make it look like original.

I believe you can buy a complete harness that looks just like the original.
Try O.E.M tractor parts. and many more I just cant think of right now

kylev. I think BigDog has posted wireharness wire gauge size some time back. I went the easy route and bought a new one of excellent quality from http://www.cngco.com/oem.electric.html . I also took a few pictures of the process if your in need (4 position switch).

In passing, can anyone tell me if the plastic tube that the wires pass inside (the conduit) is still available commercially?

Pat, it is called wire loom and is available from several sources today. You can find it by doing a web search for wire loom.
The original cub wiring harnesses were in a cloth or braided loom rather than a plastic loom.

Ron L, sure send me the pictures of the process please.

there are 3 to choose from . I dont know anything about the lights that go on my tractor because it didnt have any on it when I got it. The serial is 122166

Does anyone know which one I need from the following page

Your serial number should go with the 7 wire cable, 54252R92. (After change to regulator, before adding the ground wires).

kylev. I'm not sure they would help you as I have a "cut out relay" and "4-position" switch. I used the 6 wire harness and as Jim said, you need the 7 wire. I think you may have a 3-position switch. Anyhow, here are a few pics for any help they may be ............







Hope this helps some ........................

I dont have that box on my generator. Does that change anything.

[Ron L]

Thats the Cut Out Relay. You need another wiring diagram ........

I think this is what you need .....................

It probably doesn't pass policy police scrutiny but for the plastic loom, I used one of those modern wire looms that stereo and automotive places sell. I think I got this one from NAPA. They come in different diameters by about 10' long. They can be found in either black or red and they have a slit down the middle where you can feed your wires. It holds up real well and if I have to replace a wire, the loom is very forgiving. As I recall, I think I bought 1/2".

I went with the factory harness. Cost about $50 from C % G. I think I may make one next time. But it is nice to have it all 'sewn' up and the lengths and connectors right.

There is someone around named 'wireharness' that also makes em up.
