Hey yall...

So im here on the farm for the first time in 4 months...

Which is kind of cool... Today i plowed a field and redneck fixed the radiator on a truck, and cleaned my shop up for the first time in over a year.

I had to decide which tractor i wanted to work on this trip, my almost complete C, or my beautiful 1934 unstyled WC. I wanted to work on the WC because the C is almost like the B, but i cant get gaskets that i need for 3-4 days, plus they arent cheap.

So tomorrow, Rich (R Aikin) is coming over and we are going to try to fix the B's carb and get that running, and re-wire the C, and try to get that running.

I have never wired a tractor, or anything else before...

How much of what gauge of wire should i get?? What else will i need??

Thanks for the help... Alot of videos to come :-)

I just redid the wiring on my CA. I used 2 rolls of 10ga and 3 rolls of 12ga, a 10' spool of each color will leave you plenty of wire to spare. (might need a little more for the light circuit if you include the tail light)
I noted up my master wiring diagram to show the changes in color code.
