L345DT rebuild wiring harness

[markharrison]

I've been blessed with destroyed wiring in my L345 which was in storage for longer than planned. Kubota no longer has the harness avail and the service manual doesn't indicate the gauge for the wiring.
Does anyone happen to know the right kind of wire( solid core or strands ) and what gauge is correct in this tractor?

it will be stranded, about all i can tell you, you can use the fuse block to determine wire size needed.

If I'm rebuilding the harness anyways - is stranded better than solid?

in this situation yes, do not use solid.

If you have the old you could be sent as an reference, and most things don't draw to much power so 1.5 and 2.5mm2 should cover most lights and instruments. Glow plugs and feed to fusebox 6mm2 maybe?

Solid wires will not handle vibration and movement and will fail over time. Use high quality automotive cable and avoid cheap connectors and crimping tools.

A guy on the Orange forum, 007kubotaguy, is known for breaking down older Kubotas.

Suggest you join and try and contact him. He might have a harness.

Agri Service in New York State can make you a wiring harness and they do great work. They made the wiring harness for our Ford 4610 at half the price of the factory harness and they use top quality connectors. Wire Harness, Tractor Parts, Harness Repair, Alternator Conversion, Braided Wire
