Ok long story short, I've got goats, apparently they eat wires. Looking for any help on wiring or plug information for the part they chewed (pics below)

Any chance any of you guys have the proper wiring for this fix?

I'll take a look when I get home and see if I can find the part #'s for you. In the meantime, here is somewhere to start.

Goats are mice on steroids. They have the same size brain, just a larger configuration of the body and mouth. They both will eat just about anything.

I believe it's the harness for the revolution (crankshaft) sensor (1G171-59660). Unfortunately, it appears there is only one harness for the entire tractor so you will either need to make your own or clip one from a tractor graveyard. B2650's (and possibly others) likey also use the same connector. Here is what mine looks like.

Thanks - any chance you can see which wires go to each pin? I can get another clip and rewire myself that isn't an issue, but just want to try and get the order right the first time rather than guessing.

I'm fairly certain that you are going to need a new sensor as well, but from left to right, I have black, purple then blue.

Thank you! Time to do some sketchy wiring to see if it works before replacing the sensor... I'll send you a goat or two as thanks :D
I'm going to pass on your offer, but good luck! Also, there are likely others on here who can assist with the connector and pins that you need, but that knowledge is beyond my skill set.

That's the easier part I think - I can find a connector - or piece something together - I tried a quick straight wiring and didn't have any luck - so I suspect you're right that I need a new sensor. Also found a partially chewed connector on the ground near the tractor and I'm starting to suspect our guard dog may have played a big part in this as I don't see goats making those kinds of chew marks..... lesson learned keep the tractor our of the pasture

I still blame the goats. Those damn things will chew on anything.

Yea... I'm still not thrilled about the goats, but since the wife puts up with nearly 100 exotic ducks and geese I couldn't tell her no on the goats, or the mini donkeys... or the cows she wants now.

Our son had a dog that was part coonhound and loved to hunt critters. He ripped most of the wiring out of a tractor trying to get at a mouse. Fortunately it was an 8N Ford so so it was not a huge problem to patch it back together. He twice ripped downspouts off the house to get chipmunks. Kind of miss the dog now, but not the destruction he could do just being a dog.

Are you getting mini cows also?
