Since I would need to buy a 1000 units plus 4000 terminals I got a question. Which would the tech prefer to do; take 30 minutes changing out the $25+ wiring harness or take 10 minutes change the connector? Now of course the tech would need a pair of wire cutters, the open barrel crimper, and a short jumper wire.
If I do order these it will take 12 weeks to even get the housings in as that is the lead time from the factory then I would need to sell them on eBay. They would most likely be listed for $10 including shipping with four 20-18 ga or four 16-14 ga terminals.
Just trying to decide if I want to commit to making this business decision or not. I know it would be simpler for the tech to do this change out but they are willing to do this?
Personally I did buy some of the other connectors plus housings and they are saving me time, money, and provide professional results. Matter of fact I just did a field repair of the wiring on a JD 830A replacing the fuel solenoid connector and bypassing the on board ECU unit as its fuel solenoid control circuit failed; otherwise I would had to install a new wiring harness on the engine and replace the ECU. Parts costs for was under $5 plus my on-site labor charge for finding and resolving the problem.
The truest measure of society is the how it treats its elderly, its pets, and its prisoners.
