Who knows a good Deere salvage yard?

[beenthere]

Mice got into wiring behind my tractor’s instrument- gauge panel cluster. Tractor is a Deere 5075E, Tier II, OOS.
They got a couple wires from a big harness to spade terminals on the light switch. I think I can easily butt splice them back together.

Mice chewed about 6 wires on a (pigtail )wiring harness/connector cable. Cable is about 12” long, about 18 conductors, and goes from a connector that plugs into main harness, to the back of the panel cluster (part #RE252154). Cable has lamps that go into cluster and wires that terminate on cluster (See pic #2).

I called various sellers, near and far, and nobody can tell me if cable comes with RE252154 panel cluster or can be bought separately.
Who knows a seller or salvage yard that might sell cable?
If the pigtail cable has to come with a panel, I’d probably only buy panel to get cable if it’s cheap. Otherwise, I think I’m splicing. Any tips?

It’s like nobody nowadays can actually go look at the things they sell. There’s only information on their screen or you’re S.O.L.

2nd pic is from the internet.

You can look through jd parts and sort out the many different harness combinations that fit your options.

Also can look at the instrument panels that fit your tractor. Didn't see any that came with a wiring harness.

Good luck to you.

No you can’t. You won’t find a harness for the panel. You won’t find anything that says it’s included. It doesn’t exist. Questions like these don’t fit in their supply system.

Sikeston MO has Worthington Ag Parts and All State Ag Parts. I've never dealt with either but both are right next door to each other. When mice and rats ate my Kioti wiring I just butt spliced it all back together.

Splice it, it was: Coming off the panel was 10 cut wires connecting to 8 cut wires. Coming off light switch was 2 cut wires. That 42 wire ends to strip, and making 42 wire connections on 20 butt connectors . Make your own jokes on where this is a pain.

What’s some good tips on keeping mice out. Dryer sheets, poison, spray with bleach (bad for electric connections?), traps, leaving panel open in winter.
The #*&%’ers have a whole mow of hay 10’ feet away to nest in. I know it’s 2021 and we’re supposed to be all kumbaya with animals, but I want to kill every last one of them rat ***tards!

I keep poison bait out and like the chunks with Bromethalin. Faster, just protect from cats and dogs. If poison is always out, the mice IMO find it when they are searching for new places to set up a nest. That way they die but go back to where they came from to die.. not in the walls or places the already have set up shop.. as when putting out poison after they are established.
Traps work good then, or just bear with the dead mouse smell until they dry up.. that I don't like.

But after a nest of mice has been established and cleaned out, I spray the area down with bleach solution to take away, or cover up, the mouse urine smell. Otherwise they will come back to that place to build another nest. It's home sweet home to them.

Eagles and other birds feed on rodents, don't they?

Restrictions placed on the use of rat poisons in 2011 may have eased the problem, but the jury is still out.

I imagine they do. Eagles are doing well around here as far as their numbers go.
I try to keep them well fed with raccoons to dine on. Way too many raccoons.
