so i went to start her up today and i had to put the charger on it and once started i let her warm up good and took her around the house by the garden and she died.. i checked and a wire going from the wires up by the key (not sure what one) that leads to the solenoide was almost melted. it was speaker wire and so i replaced the burnt part and i had to run the extension cord out there with the charger to start her it was a pain on the BUTT! it was overheated so much i think i opned the hood and there was a thin smoke came out and the heat waves were amazing it was deffinatly overheating. i think it was the exhaust due to the huge hole in it
so i just want a whole new wireing harness (if possible) and muffler.
any help guys? |

I'm with you guys. New wire point-to-point (I had a problem with a 4" piece of wire where the wire itself was broken inside the insulation - that was the last place I would have looked). If you must splice (like at the ignition switch terminal) a soldered connection is your best bet. |

In this particular situation I would have to go along with Roy. I've gotten to where anything with wheels or is otherwise outside gets solder repairs. Corrosion is always a problem. I know a lot of us keep our tractors inside but we are also prone to washing our equipment. Even once a year can promote the formation of corrosion. The crimp type connectors are handy and fast. If I have have to use them I will still use heat shrink or tape where possible. I know it is a pain but it has greatly reduce having to go back in two years to redo the connections.

On an electrical system as compact and simple as the 3400 and earlier tractors I
prefer to replace wires terminal to terminal. Roy, the splice you describe is great but seldom do I see anyone go to that much effort in splicing. |

IMHO a spliced, soldered, and heat shrink covered connection is much more reliable than a crimped connection.
I prefer to splice and solder but do use crimped connections sometimes. |

How long can you run a part and still call it new?

yes im good with spliceing and adding new wire but its gotten so bad
like where the wires connect with the plastic connectors the wire is less than an inch and since there under the dash behind the battery there kinda hard getting in there but until spring itl have to do.
I would would not splice anything. Get some rolls of wire and crimped on connectors then replace one wire at a time from origin to end then wrap them all together in electrical tape. |
