Rodents Chewed Main Engine Harness 🐁⚠️😫

[TYM394HST]

Hello everyone,

The other day I went out to start the tractor and noticed multiple check engine lights on dash. I immediately shut it down and begin to inspect the engine. Well to my horror I found a giant rodent nest. So after cleaning everything out and inspecting I found a few spots where they decided to have a snack. It looks like the main harness took all the damage. The wires connected to the middle injector, the bundle of wires that go to the DPF system and what I think is the cam position sensor. I've attached some photos. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good parts supplier ?

Good thing notice the mess before the engine got hot.

lol tell me about it. Although they would probably have a tough time out here. I just need to hurry up and build my garage. This was the day before, working like a champ!

SW Utah. I also found Jordan Sales and Smiths Enterprises via search and another thread. I will try them, thanks.

My pack rat experience. Not a tractor, but at least the damage was very minimal. They came up through a hole in the shifter boot.

No rats here. But hoards of mice, chipmunks. I leave the hood open on every vehicle I own. Open & exposed seems to deter them.

OP should send that picture to TYM for a brochure cover.


It doesn't depict the 10,000 degree heat though.
