I make 4 gauge for all of the ones I wire. Much better to have a larger cable as things age.

Pretty much done. Just some odds and ends

The 856 looks great! How did you restore the dash?

Looks great! So, you painted it first then. I like the red you used on the rest of the tractor.

Might I suggest, unless they’re hiding... fuses?

 

Justin that build looks top notch!

You did too nice of a job on that tractor, made a show piece out of it. Now you have to go out and buy another Wheel Horse to use.

From the factory it never used them plus I’m using larger gauge wire from factory. Plus there’s no real good spot to put them that hides them, easy access, and requires no drilling/modification. Needed to be as original as possible for most aspects.
