AC model 200 wiring harness

[Jeff Polasek]

Howdy,

the starter on my brother in law model 200 diesel shorted out and burned/melted a good portion of the wiring harness. I have not been able to find a replacement harness for the tractor. Does anyone know where I can get a new wiring harness? or will this need to be a build my own harness?

I have the service manual that has the wiring diagram, but I am unsure of what gauge wire to use for the different legs.

Thanks

Jeff

Let me guess. Did that tractor still have the cursed Lucas starter it came with?
They were trouble right from day one.
There is a place here in western NY- wiringharnesses.com- that specializes in what you need.
I spent a small fortune last winter for a JD OEM harness. I wish I had known about this place.

Id go scronge one off a junkyard special , Agco has them around 800 i believe, or depending how paticular you are , make your own , theyre aint much to them

As Doug says- they're a pretty basic system. If you decide to do-it-yourself, I just remembered something I have done in a similar dilemma. I have a couple of old, simple wire strippers/screw cutters. They have a separate slot for each wire size. I have used them to figure out the size of wires.
I have more recently got one of the one-size-fits-all-grab-cut-and-strip all in one motion type tools.
Maybe the old ones still have their place.
