pfrederi 18,223 #1 Posted February 6 Okay so I know the GT series was Wheel horses attempt to have a less expensive tractor. I guess when it came to wiring they took a lesson form Henry Ford...You can have whatever color you like...so long as it is black. #gwest_ca has done a magnificent job colorizing many wiring diagrams. GT-1848 would be easy...all black and skinny almost feel like 18 ga but I guess it is 16ga.. If this tractor works out she may get a complete rewire in Living color. I am not going all in till I get the opportunity top get her really hot and see about the hydro She had a red WH filter. Also guess the PO didn't own a grease gun. Steering sector was bone dry and zerk was encased in dry dirt. 2 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every wire in the generators that work on are black. They do have numbers printed on them...at least until you touch them. Not saying where they have the printing put on them (we'll just say it's below the Texas border) but I do know that it rubs off very easily. To make matters worse, we have a wire printer in house that does a great job. Only way to remove the numbers from our printer is with brake cleaner & a lot of scrubbing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Picture is after I cleaned it up and changed things around a bit but the basic harness had all coloured wires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
