I am getting close to ordering some new wiring for my Farmall Super C, but I was wondering what the proper way to use different color wire is.
It sounds like a simple question, but what I mean is, there are probably 7 or 8 different wires on the tractor, and I do not think I could find 7 or 8 different color wires. Should I just try to use different colors for the longer wires, and the wires going to and from the dashboard area so I do not get confused when following the wire?
Also, I am not going to try to get original type wire, I will just buy modern automotive wire. Maybe in the future I would consider doing a complete restoration with original, authentic 1950s style wire, but for now, I will not do that.
As for wire gauge, I believe people have mentioned 10, 12, and/or 14 gauge wire. Any other advice for wire gauge?
One more question, and I hope its not too many questions, but what about the battery to starter and battery to ground wires? Those look much thicker, what are the specifications on those?
Thank you very much,
John
