Question, what do you guys think of aftermarket wiring harnesses for a Ford 4500. Steiner wants $500 aftermarket is 90 I’m tempted opinions anyone anyone. TIA.

Wiring harnesses are not that complicated, get some bulk wire, a few rolls of tape and make your own. I have made several for different tractors over the years. No way would I pay $500 for one.

I bought the $90 one on eBay I know I can make one but it would probably take about $30 worth of wire and three or four hours of labor. I’m old slow short timer my time is worth a lot. That said, I am of , Scottish dissent. I will squeeze a nickel till the buffalo farts, but getting a little lazy.

30 years ago, I was amazed that a 8N own wiring harness cost less than 20 bucks!

Best thing I ever did

The hardest part of making a wiring harness is locating the connectors to match existing components.

Even a Ford Model T wiring harness cost more than that today. You can't even buy the wire for $20.

$20 gets you a part of a roll of wire... maybe
