Wiring Harness for Jubilee

[Mark Benjamin]

Hi Guys. My Jub has been converted to 12V but I'm not quite sure which new wiring harness to buy. Would it be this one?? Wiring Harness, 12 Volt Conversion - For Models: NAA, Jubilee, 600, 700, 800, 900, 2000, 4000, all 1953-64. (Part No: NAA10301)

Any idea if this includes the wires for lights?

I would think you will need to make your own as the harness for sale is wired for OEM setup.
NAPA sells nice wire tube that you can use to make it look like a store bought one.

it really don't matter.. 12v or 6v and modify it.

depending on how it is made.. the 6v harness may be thicker wire = better.

the wires tot he reg / genny are the big change, and you can actually make them work with a very minor change.

armature goes to charge stud, att he alt.. and the field wire at the alt goes to #1.. #2 loops to charge stud.

at the end where the genny would be, the arm wire goes to one side of the ammeter.. the field wire goes to a lamp or diode to the coil side of the ignition switch.

see.. very little change on a 6v harness for using it for 12v..

My Jube's wiring was a mess- I just made my own out of heavy gauge wire and crimp connectors. No need for fancy harness unless you want an authentic look. There's just not that many wires. My cub cadet has about 10x as much wiring.

My Jubilee wiring was also a mess when I bought it. It had a 12 volt conversion that was a cobbled together mixture of old and new wires. It ran good with the mess, but I finally ran my own wires.
Based on the info I had read on here, I cut and removed every wire and ran new wire. I also used heat shrink on all the connectors and ran the wires through flexible plastic conduit. I already had the wire from previous projects, so my only cost was $4 for the heat shrink and conduit.

Appreciate the feedback guys. Electrical isn't my forte by any means! Sounds like this is pretty simple though... I saved my old wiring and took plenty of pictures just in case I had to makes wires and a smentioned there's really not that much to it!...

Good advice on shrink wrapping...
