2019 M5-091 narrow firewall fire

[M5nGO]

I bought this tractor for around 10 grand. It looks decently fixable and with the new guidance from the EPA administration on bypassing emissions while working on a tractor a lot more cost-effective.

My plan is to separate the loom up to where it feeds into the ECU make sure there are no burn spots or potential shorts, clean up the wires that were burnt and tape them with silicon, tape, and replace hoses where needed. I need about every hose that connects to every filter on the passenger side so sizes and types of hose and search would be appreciated. If you know it off the top of your head. I will need a new fuel filter or at least a new what I imagine is a plastic bowl and filter. Never mind I need a whole new unit. Ideally after testing, I will probably need a engine loom also known as a wiring harness to either harvest connectors off and splice in or just replace the whole thing probably would be the easiest.
If y’all could help in anyway, I would greatly appreciate it! And any advice you may have!

Wow! That's beyond what I would tackle. Please keep us up to date with your progress, and GOOD LUCK!

curious. Did the fire just burn up the wiring OR could it have gotten hot enough to damage internal 'plastic' pieces. Did you price out the wiring harnesses and known bad parts before buying the tractor ?
To me forking over $10K for a burned out tractor is a huge gamble,unless it's worth say $60K and you only have to put $12K in parts plus your labour(which is always 'free').
Looks like a long summer project ! Be sure to take LOTS of pictures while tearing it apart !! Even just ONE picture showing how 'this was attached to that' can save you dayze of head scratching !!

I'm pretty new at this but someone on here pointed to the Messicks site as a good source of info. I found lots of useful exploded views that were great for identifying parts for my old tractor.

I would probably replace the wiring harnesses rather than trying to repair. If repairing cut out any heat affected wire one at a time and replace with new wire of the same gage. I would solder and heat shrink the splices. Just taping up burned wiring is just asking for more troubles down the road. Looks like a nightmare to me.
