B-26: Is there a 'pigtail' replacement for the ignition switch connector?

[White Pine]

I recently replaced ignition switch K7571-62110 on my B-26 because it was sticky in the pre-heat position. While doing the changeover, I found that the white plastic connector from the wiring harness just crumbled in my hands from old age (14 year old tractor). Kubota only sells the whole wiring harness. Does anyone have a source for a "pigtail" replacement for this connector?

Get your post count up and show pictures of the mating connector from several angles.

There are replacement connectors out there, but narrow it down to get advice.

Hmm, couple 'red flags' in the post..
1) stuck on preheat and 2) connector crumbled
Those sound like excessive current in the glow plug circuit,possibly 2 or 3 'bad' glow plugs as even 14 year old wiring should be in very, very good condition.
Agree post a few replies here and then 2-3 pictures.

How wide are those terminals? Could you fit .250" QD crimp terminals on them?

Actually, since your connector is broken apart- the terminals are already on the wires. You could just push those terminals on without the connector housing.

If you really want the original connector- the switch part number you posted is also used on the zero turn mowers which have much smaller wiring harnesses. A harness for a ZD221 is $80 for example and you could de-pin that connector and transfer it onto yours. It's a lot of money for a connector though going that route.

yes, look like 'industry standard' 1/4" terminals. if you do ANY 'bodging', take before pictures, and make a drawing as to what colour wire goes where relative to the 'key' at the bottom. If you replace one at a time not too hard BUT yank them all out at once, phone rings, oospy...16 different ways to reinstall them....1 right, 15 rong

I just realized that the profile of the switch housing looks a lot alike the connector on my wiper motor. I ordered plugs/terminals for it because I'm working on building an intermittent wiper delay module.

This is what's on the wiper motor side compared to the switch housing-

The plug I ordered compared to the Kubota plug-

Here's what I ordered but I make zero claims that this will work for you.
