Lew1940 · Mar 23, 2023

Hello everyone. New to the forum. In the process of restoring a 1966 international cub loboy and looking for a wiring diagram for the tractor..gauge wire, color and length. Wondering if someone could help me out..thanks..lew

That's kind of a tall order, color gauge and length... Wiring diagrams for that tractor are available on google. Color really isn't important unless you're going for complete originality. I always use all 12ga wire except for the main charging wire from the generator to the regulator to the ammeter to the starter switch, which I use 10ga.

If you want a good original style wiring harness there are three places to get them from, Brillman, Porch Electric, and AgriServices, and they're reasonably priced. Unless you already have a supply of quality wire (i.e. not the crap they sell at OReilly's or Walmart. Use ONLY marine grade wire.), it's going to cost you more to get minimum lengths of all the colors you need, plus the tools, plus the connectors, than the premade harness will cost.

Is this the old type Lowboy,offset with the cast iron torque tube? Or,is it the 154/184 style,with the engine
centered and a pressed steel frame.I've always bought parts for those from Hamilton Bobs,the wiring harness was dirt
cheap and was plug and play.

I can vouch for Brillman,and AgriServices. Never used Porch Electric

Yup, and won't be near as good.

These guys make great stuff. Pretty much unbeatable

Well on the Cubby's i would have to see what the colors used are But more then likely you willl be working with a Blue of either a light blue and a darker blue a yellow a black a Violet a white and maybe a red . Ga. wise most will be either a 14-16 gage with a 12 or 10 from the gen to the amp gauge and from the amp gauge to the starter post You may find you need some Delco 56 wire ends and connectors for the rest bare wire ends with black heat shrink cover wire loom is a basket weave style . I have done a ton of harness builds that look factory and can build one a lot faster then ordering one and WAITING on it to arrive . Just finished up the one for my 1250 Cub Cadet i picked up a month ago . Should have been done with it but due to new hourly shop rate and all we have been dragging our feet and setting around the wood stove enjoying way to many barley pops. We work on the flat rate BEER per hour now. ANd sorta MILKING the jobs.
