Kubota L245H help with ignition wiring

[Forest72]

Hello to the experts. Need help with finding new replacement connections that connect wires from ignition to wires going to starter for this L245H, please see pics. These white connection pieces are crumbling... also a wiring diagram would be very helpful if avail. Thanks for the help.

You could stop by your local NAPA dealer and see what kind of connectors are available. They won't be like the originals but it you can get a male and female to match and watch which wire goes where you should be in business.

Kubotabooks.com has an operators manual complete with wiring diagram.

The deteriorating connectors exist for assembly purposes and can be eliminated by soldering the wires together one at a time.

I'd generally recomend Weatherpack or Metripack connectors. Weatherproof & what is used in most american cars these days. Deutch connectors are better, but more expensive & require less common tools.

Amphenol-Deutsch vs weatherpack plugs when wiring up a truck - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum has good info on connectors. I referenced it a lot before my L4060HSTC wiring project. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/customization/376458-let-there-light-l4060-light.html

Soldering may work, but I always prefer easily removable options as close to OEM as possible for maintnance & repair.

You can buy the complete wiring harness from Messicks for about $250.
