Default Help identifying headlight connector

Headlights stopped working on the 169 tonight and I identified the culprit as a broken wire. **I have no knowledge of electrical**. That being said, do I need to purchase a new connector or harness? I circled in red where the two connect...err were joined as one until today lol. Appears to connect to the bottom of the ammeter.

Thanks !!

Jim

NO, you don't have to buy a Wiring Harness, only if you want to.

It can be easily repaired, by cutting out the bad wire segment and install (crimp) a fully insulated terminal(s). See image.

It looks like you may need a new fuse holder, plus the connectors Roland mentioned! It is an easy fix. Pick up a inline fuse holder at auto parts store, and splice in.

The fuse holders usually come with a short piece of wire as part of the assl'y
Simply cut the wire in the center and then splice both ends into the harness in place of the damaged one.
All you will need are two butt connectors to install it into the harness.
Look for one of these at any auto parts store.
They probably already have a 10 amp fuse installed or you can use your existing fuse.

There should be a Factory installed inline fuse on the 149 & 169.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
