It depends on how original you want it to be. The original wires had braided cotton insulation that
was usually a brown color with different colored stripes on it. There is a guy advertising in Red Power that sells replacement harnesses made from this type wire. There are places where you can buy this wire also to make your own. If it is a working tractor I would use modern wire from an auto parts store and cover it with black automotive split loom. Just figure out how many
different wires are in the system and buy that many different colors of wire. I would use 10 and
12 ga wire if it is still the 6V system. I did this on my BN. The original harness was all rotted. This is temporary till I do a complete resto on it, then I will get an original style harness. I wouln't use smaller than 1 ga for the battery cables, and dont use clamp on battery ends. If you do make up your own harness, draw yourself a wiring diagram while you make it. This will help if you have any electrical problems in the future.
