Other than matching existing wires what more should be considered when rewiring an old tractor. My IH 404 needs it all. Should I worry about the connector plugs? Maybe add a bus bar instead? It does not have a resistor at the coil though one is shown in diagrams and one is on my other 404.
I have wiring diagrams (thanks) and have ordered new ignition switch, light switch, fuse holder assembly, new steering wheel and vanity cap, new starter push button assembly. The choke cable doesn't work and I need to replace it. While the dash is out is there more I should check. The tach moves a little but I don't know if that cable needs replacing. I am thinking it may be nice to add some yellow flashing lights on the fenders and maybe use the old cigarette lighter location for a new switch. Not a restoration but while I have it open just want to do maintenance and improvements.
For what it's worth my IH 404's are both wide front and though not Farmalls appear to be farm not utility tractors based on the draft controls. Thanks in advance.
