Re-Wiring my C-160

[KC9KAS 4,741]

After checking out my C-160 and rebuilding the carb, I am now working on the wiring.

I did a search on re-wiring and found a lot of really good information on members re-doing their tractors.

So here are some photos and comments....

 

Special crimpers for the female treminals that fit inot the Packard 56 connectors.

 

Purchased items for the re-wire job

 

Bought "Packard 56" connectors in packages of 5. Bought 5, 4, 2 and 1 position connectors. I am always needing good quality connectors for something.

 

Various colors of wire.

 

This is what needed replaced.

 

Hard to see, but all wiring and connectors are complete and now I need to fasten the wire harness to the frame.

All those wires hanging remind me of some of the tractors I've gotten that looked that way and the owners were using them!

This thing was so "Jeri-rigged" wiring wise.

No on/off switch, push button start button, missing coil...........needless to say, it wouldn't start!!

I enjoy seeing a good quality wiring job on Wheel Horses or any other LAGT ! Don't forget to use wire looms and tie wraps where you can. Are you wiring in all the old safety switches, or leaving some of them out (old school style) ?

Ken,

I see you are making progress. i think that old harness got thrown out. looks like you have it under control. these ones are a fairly basic harness to do on the tractor and work out the lengths as you go.

nice to see all new components!

looking forward to some finished pics!!!
