Electrical Connectors

[Thumper & Buttercup]

The plug is just like a trailer plug with just a two wire hookup being a male and female, but it is larger in size.

I'll try and get a photo up on Monday, I had purchased the regular size but I had just given it a quick look.

On the upper page 50 of the Waytek Catalog it shows the type connectors. All their connector posts are .180 diameter.

I'll get the measurements of the posts on the tractor also. Thanks guys.

We'll I got out today before the weather turns bad on us.

I took this photo and I showed a regular connector like you would find on a Battery Tender. Next to it is the tractor connector.

The regular connector pins measure .176 with a distance of .88 from the center of the pin to the center of the female part of the connector.

The tractor pin is .180 the same as the catalog, but it's distance is .162.

You can see the size difference, I'll give the guys a call at Waytek and see if their plugs will match up. Thanks for you guys looking for me.

Well I found my connectors kinda, I was at a Menard's tonight and walked over to the automotive stuff and looked at the Electrical connectors by Reece, well the pins looked big enough so I got a couple of them. I tried to fit them and it worked, I just have to cut off two of the female pin receivers and they will work fine. Thanks for the help. I'll post up when I have everything mounted, I've got a big order from e-bay with all the electrical stuff I wanted, it is all marine supply stuff so I'll post up how it all looks when I get it.

If it's (flat 4/5) trailer connector sized.. then you can also find individual QD bullet connectors for them as well.

NAPA usually has the little ones in their trailer section. 16 ga wire I think. They get warm when running 12 amps through them.
I found the bigger ones at Wal-Mart in the boating stuff. I think they have 10 or 12 ga wire, used for trolling motor connections.
My battery tender will plug into either one. When it's plugged in to the bigger one there is some gappage, but the light comes on so I know it's charging.

I've also seen a connector.. that is likely the same size that is used for single hay bale trailers called doodle-bugs. they have electric brakes.. but only for dumping/loading.. it is a 2 prong connection.. one male, one femail, and it adapts over to your trailer brake plug.. you have your brakes set to -0- but then just hit the panic button for full brakes to lock up the doodle bug brakes.. etc.

I purchased 2-wire flat connector cables at Carquest (Model CPR 70059) that fit my NH wiring harness. Jay

Thanks Jay,

I've got two trailer pigtails with 60" of wire that I can cut and make work, but I'll check Carquest on Monday and see it they have it here. Thanks.
