My local JD dealer (Ag Power) claims that only two parts on the wiring harness for my 5105 can be ordered. If he is correct, that means that even if the little 2-pin connector that attaches to the fuel sending unit on the bottom of the fuel tank gets snagged by a branch or something and gets jerked off, I would have to order the entire $850+ harness, since the harness is not segmented. This just can't be correct.
I melted a small section of the aft part of the harness fighting a grass fire to make a fire break to save a neighbors house. Thankfully I did, but just before finaly melting the fuel hose and spraying diesel beneath the tractor and sitting in a pool of flame. Also thankfully a brush truck was nearby and we got it extinguished before doing major damage. But now I need to find a handful of various connectors and switches to repair the portion of the harness that was damaged.
The red circle is the PTO switch - the green rectangle shows the portion of the harness I will rewire and what is not shown is a few other connectors and a swirch or two still on the tractor I will need.

So as you can see the damage is easily repaired if I can find the parts. JD says they cannot be ordered except with an entire new harness. This is outrageous. Does anyone know if the harness connectors can be ordered separately or in the alternative, where I might find a used harness?
