Kubota L3430
Does anyone know what type of electrical connectors or on Kubota L 3430, I cannot see paying a 1000 bucks for a complete harness when all I need is one 6 pin connector on the transmission, any help is appreciated.

I'm going to suggest that you will get many valid responses if you post a photo of the connector. Many of us might be able to help that have no idea what your 6-pin connector looks like since we don't own Kubotas. A close-up focused picture from the side and looking into the connector would be ideal. Also, some measurements. Help us help you by giving a bit more info please.

I'll get a couple of pics when I get home this evening, and thanks for responding.

Yes, a picture. But I've done a ton of electrical addons for my Goldwing and I don't necessarily feel constrained by the factory style connectors. Both Mouser Electronics - Electronic Components Distributor and Welcome to Waytek can fix you up with whatever you need in the electrical realm. Mouser lets you order more stuff in quantities of 1 or 2 whereas Waytek typically has minimums.

ditto that.. i've used generic molex connectiors many times when doing repairs or upgrades. especially if a 6$ conenctor set saves a 1000$ harness

Ditto what others said.

If you are lucky enough to find a 6 pin connector half that matches, odds are it is going to cost more than just getting a generic 6-pin SET

I dont have a problem rewiring the tractor, I have already made a couple of repairs, unfortunately the male plug for this is snap ringed into the transmission and the female (chewed part) is missing one of the female pins, I have already bought several plugs from the sources you guys mentioned, and none fit, very close but not it. Most of what I have found leads me to believe they are Toyota automotive connectors, I just need to find the right pin to replace the missing one.
I have included some pics. IMG_0947.jpgIMG_0948.jpgIMG_0950.jpgIMG_0951.jpgIMG_0952.jpgIMG_0953.jpgIMG_0954.jpgIMG_0955.jpgIMG_0956.jpg

The wing pic is for you Stick, I have installed many farkels to it as well, I don't mind changing things but this is a proprietary plug that is in the transmission, I don't have a choice.

the pics are way to unclear to tell anything.. but if you thought it was a auto connectior.. i'd stroll thru a junkyard at lunch...

otherwise.. i'd figure out how to go pin to pin directly with a home made wire job not usinghte conenctor. or usingthe connector with 1 pin moded.

I do not want to make a suggestion that will lead you down a black hole.
But WORST case senerio:
I do see a snap ring at the base of the connector on the tractor and a plate that can be removed on the side.
If you truley cannot get the replacement parts, there is a possible workaround.
Without knowing what is inside it is hard to guess further.
Can you ger a parts view of the innards?

All viable suggestions and I probably will pull that snap ring off and just solder a mod on that pin. Thanks for all the help.

I dont think it would hurt to pull that out, but I am going to see if I can find out whats under there if possible.

Pictures are out of focus but when I first saw it, it appeared to be weatherpack connector that I see on GM vehicles... replaced the 4wd actuator on my daughters 94 chevy pickup last year and that connector looks similar..

could this be it a Deutsch Sealed Connector ? I cant see the plug well enough to tell.. You might try taking some different pictures. The one good photo on the transmission looks like this might be it, and it is 8 conductor not 6. Obviously weatherproof high quality automotive type connector.
Kubota uses a connector that looks like that near the back of the seat in the L3830, so that could also be the case here.

Well it really is an 8 pin , though it only uses 6, I mistakenly call it a 6 when it is an 8 pin so you might have found it, i'll let you know.
Thanks

If it's an 8, which your pics verify, then clean up the plug area, pop the snap ring, wire it up using one of the unused pins in place of the broken one, and away you go. As long as the wire in question goes from socket side to male side same pin you're good.
