So part #HHT1K-91103

So the part you ordered is the entire wiring harness or just the pigtail connector that plugs into the PTO solenoid?
It’s a pigtail connector that plugs into the pto solenoid. It costs about $85, which is ridiculously high but no other option besides paying $1300 for a new harness or trying to repair the current one. I had done a temp repair already with tape and it worked for awhile but I do some aggressive mowing with my tractor on a hill so it pulled out the taped wire again.

I will probably look at a way to protect it better when the new pigtail comes in

Thanks, Motate. That part should only cost about $15-$20 but they've got us by the ---- so I guess I'll order one ,too.

I just picked it up today and it looks correct, except it has two wires instead of one but that’s not an issue.
Once the rain stops I’ll wire it up and confirm.
Cost $86 without tax since I’m exempt.

Success! Wired it up and pto is turning and the warning light is off.
Thanks again to all the people who helped track this down, especially getting the specific Kubota part number so I could order it easily

Well, I ordered part #HHT1A-91103 and as you would imagine it was the wrong part! I'll go back and order HHT1K-91103. Glad to know you have the right part.

The plug that goes into the side of my transmission (I think) that sends the electrical signal for the pto to engage has had the wire come out. I pushed the pin back into the connector and plugged it in and it worked for awhile but then came out again.
No luck with Kubota or Messicks on getting or figuring out the connector, it is on the end of the rear wiring harness

I’m sure it is a standard connector, anyone have ideas? I want to buy one with the wire installed so I can splice it in Kubota wants $1350 for a full harness

included pics if someone recognizes it, about 1” long for reference.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Thank you for this post, been searching forever to find this!
