Need help on which wiring harness to buy!

Postby Mike Duncan » Tue Jan 11, 2005 4:24 pm

I'm at a loss in trying to determine on what harness I need to buy for a '50 Cub with electric start but with a magneto ignition.

The tractor currently has NO WIRING at all, except the cable to the starter from the battery, so I have nothing to go by in helping me determine what I need. The only to shut if off is to choke the carb and get it to stop, so you can see why I definitely want to put a new wiring system in place.

OEM (and several other companies) offers at least three types: a 4, 7 or 8 wire harness. I contacted a few of the companies asking them which I should (figured they would know better than I) and I got the same response: Count the wires you have and there's your answer. Of course I had already explained to them that I have nothing to go on.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You need the 4 wire harness, same as my 48 and 49. The magneto switch wire and the rear light wire are seperate and not included.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

Mike. Read the posts on "Switch Labels" by Cubnut. The info there I give on wiring harness is for my '48 with magneto and is what John is talking about.

Mike, when you asked about your wiring harness and I stated it would take the 4 wire harness I was assuming it also had a cutout rather than a voltage regulator, which was a bad thing to do. If is has a regulator, then as Wireharness pointed out, my info would be incorrect.
