With due respect to my friends Emmett and Jeff!
The upgrade kit had several components, not just the starter. Without my
notes (they're at the shop) I cannot describe the routes of the wires.
But the upgrade had 2 switches (1 momentary, 1 ON/OFF) ,mounted in a box on
steering column.
Battery with 2 large wires running to starter. Smaller wire from
alternator.
Along with the alternator, are the voltage regulator.
The hour meter and mag. remain from the original mule.
All of these components are linked by several feet of wire, running all over
the place. With the components connected by several wires each.
I don't have any idea what it would cost to build a new harness. But, I have
rebuild an old one, and can tell you that it's fairly large and confusing.
Even by mule standards.
The switches are mil-std, waterproof,toggle. The ON/OFF has six conductors,
but only 4 are used. This switch took the place of the switch under the
drivers legs in the un-modified mule.These switches are found on ALL MV's.
Wires and connections are same as any 1970's vintage MV. Alternator and
voltage regulator are standard Dodge (M880).
So if Jeff's harness is a REAL (true reproduction of USA) upgrade harness,
it could be worth over $100.
Regards,
Keith
