I had one made up at the local farmers union service station a couple weeks ago that I was very impressed with. I can't give you a name brand or anything because I don't know it. But we used really heavy cable (I believe it's called two-ought?????) Cut it to correct length,stripped the ends appropriately, and crimped the ends on using the hydraulic hose crimping machine. Then put heat shrink tubing in place on the connections. Turned out great. Would think that some auto parts places would be set up to do that. Darrel

Tracy, I have used

Many times, they are quick and have always had good prices.

I finally got mad during the Covid nonsense and bought a hydraulic crimper and got a selection of ends that I most use, and a roll of cable. Problem solved!

If you go the 'make your on route' be sure to properly 'tin' the ends to consolodate the strands into a solid conductor and seal the ends with 'liquid rubber' or similar product.

Quickcable. Sold through many dealers. CNH dealers can have parts direct shipped to them (slow, not from warehouse, likely minimum order), , basically the QC P/N with a ZQC on the front of it. QuickCable is often cheaper in the end, but again, minimum order likely applies.
