Rats eaten my wires on L4060 HST

[sweet1justice]

Trying to locate wire diagram for wires on my Kubota L4060 HST. Rats have eaten at least 8 wires on my tractor. I have replaced 3 and having a terrible time locating the rest. I have a error 20. Any information helpful. Manual is unhelpful. I can't find any error codes. Behind the seat I have a total of 6 wires and one of the yellow wires has three wires coming off it. Sooo confusing.

Thanks Val

The shop manual has wiring diagrams in it, but they are on fold out pages double size, and the print is incredibly small so that a magnifying glass is needed to read it, so I think beyond being practical to scan in a legible copy for you. If you have a kind dealer, he might be able to send you a pdf of selected pages, or even the whole manual, and you could enlarge on your computer screen once you figured out which parts you wanted to see. Mine is a paper copy.

Error 20 is communication error between ECU and Intellipanel. The ECU is above, near the left rear wheel, kind of near the seat. I can find nothing on these diagrams to tell wire color?

But I have just found in another place some tables with wire colors. Yellow goes to CAN H, range gear shift lever, a bunch of sensors involved in dpf regen etc. I think youwill need the whole manual, or your dealer.

I don't like hungry rats, so I feed them.
DECON.....ha ha ha ha
Put it in a wooden box with a hole for them to get into that my dogs can't get into. No more rat problem, but them suckers can eat a lot of the stuff.

It is not only rats. These days the plastic insulation on electric wires has vegetable oil in the plastic it make it flexible. Thus any animal that has a nose for that oil (like Crisco, etc) will chew the wires. It is not just tractors, but any place where there is that insulation. Squirrels ate the wires to my transmission in the truck. Our well wires (a multistrand wire carrying 20 amps) were chewed down to one wire and it still worked, amazingly.

Thanks for all response. I am still working on finding the wires. I plan on going to local Kubota dealer and look at their wires. Rural king has a box with key to put bait in. Going to hopefully kill them all.

Do you have any kind of insurance on your tractor that may cover the damage?

 

[sweet1justice]

Not sure if my insurance covers it. I called them and they are suppose to get back to me. Good Luck!
