dmoore 824 #1 Posted February 26, 2022 I see a few parts being reproduced for our tractors and wondering if anyone has stepped up to faithfully reproduce complete wiring harnesses? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,298 #2 Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) The wiring harnesses on Wheel Horses underwent numerous changes over the years and even had some midyear changes during the year. No one has or is likely to offer reproduction wiring. You can do your own rewiring with a few simple tools and the wiring diagram for your particular tractor. What model are you working on? We can help you along where needed. Dell City is a great source for the parts, wire and tools you will need. They supply good quality connectors in a variety of configurations. https://www.delcity.net/?mkwid=s&crid=532441923049&mp_kw=dell city electronics&mp_mt=e&gclid=CjwKCAiAvOeQBhBkEiwAxutUVLW4d80ysIq5OnU0rcpstxbgFWNjTRsxK5sSpiClJHJTsqRH4NjBPBoCQdEQAvD_BwE Edited February 26, 2022 by 953 nut fat finger 4 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,510 #3 Posted February 26, 2022 Early tractor harnesses were very simple and easy for just about anyone to reproduce. But as the tractors became more complicated, so too did their harnesses. If you go to any online Toro parts supplier and find a part number for any wiring harness, clicking on it will show that it is only compatible with a particular model/year. As @953 nut pointed out, mid-year product changes made wiring unique. I don't think that anyone would be able to make all types of harnesses and still be able to make money unless they sold their product for a lot more than the average buyer would be willing to pay. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
