Default Making a wiring harness for my 126

I removed the original harness and was checking the wire for size. It looks like the new ones are made from SXL wire and thats what I will use. From what I can tell in measuring the original I will need #4 going to the solenoid and S/G. What should I use for the other wires? I measured the OD of the existing and I'm getting #8 on some and #6 on others. I used my calipers and a NEMA standard for wire size but I don't think this is correct so any help would be appreciated. I could just buy a new harness but that would be too easy. Thanks.

For general wiring, I use 14 MTW. It is 14GA and pliable enough to work with.

The Battery cables should be at least 4 GA.

Thanks, R. I have a few more questions. I purchased a 104 with a spring assist, 3 point and creeper. I'm removing them to put on the 126. I am making a new driveshaft with new parts for the creeeper (as per Matt G) and I know that I need a top bracket for the 3 point. I didn't see in any of the parts or tractor manuals about installing a spring assist on a 126. Thanks.

I do know someone who sells a wire harness for your 126. The cost will be $70. Some models are less.

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.
