I always make harnesses..... I did this on my old IH 615 combine a few years ago. This was also a complete redesign of the electrical system. I used a lot of trailer cable (7 wire) for most of the job, with various other bits and pieces along with some 4 ga cable for the heavy runs. As mentioned in other posts, just get a terminal kit from the heavy truck supply or somewhere like Princess Auto, and use it creatively. You can also get the shrink tubing and other coverings to protect the wires. I the case of my combine, it just had a poor system that almost burnt the machine because of the way it was fused, so I wouldn't have put a new factory harness in anyway. I didn't even check price or availability. I'm often rewireing as much as repairing anyway... more than just patching. That's why I make my own harness. Cost is seldom the reason. Lets face it; theses machines are 30 or 40 years old, have had lights added, generators and regulators fired away, and a whole lot of other old nuisance wires hanging around. It makes more sense to make a new relevant harness. My 2 cents, FWIW. Rod
