Many years ago, I had a Kenmore double oven range. After replacing the lower oven element three times in as many years, I was advised to go to a local plumbing and electrical supply.
As luck would have it---I was next in line with a man that needed an element just like mine. He paid about $15. I told the lady I needed the same thing and she brought one out, looked at mine and said "you have a Kenmore" Brought another back and the price was about $22!
I asked what the difference was and she showed me the electrical "spade connector".
Thats what was BURNING UP!!! I told her to give me the $15 one and I would modify by substituting a metal ring with small screw and nut.
I did so and never had another problem!
My point is---Sears has their own parts network and has their supplier to modify items. In most cases, only genuine Sears parts will work!!
I was told this by a Sears technician and he said virtually all Sears items are modified in this way.
That's another reason for me to boycott Sears!!
Spayed connectors are cheaper then the ring with screw and nut!

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
