I have a 1958 Farmall 140 (original 6 volt system) that my wife and parents bought for my son and I last year as a birthday present. While it will never be a "perfectly restored" tractor I want to keep it as nice as possible and in solid functional shape. The wiring harness was painted at some time in the past before I got the tractor and the outer insulation/wire loom (cloth tubing??) is missing and rotted in places whick worries me that I'll get a short at some time and encounter major problems.
I'm looking for suggestions on how to go about making my own wiring harness as close to the original as possible. Wire gauge? Wire loom type and diameter? Wire color (red?, black?, etc.)? Connector types? Tips and hints you've learned from making your own harness?
I figure it would be a good winter project so that I have it ready and replaced by next spring.
Any help and insight would be greatly appreciated.
