I have tried searching, but no one has said were they got connectors to work. My tractor will not accept 14-16ga bullet connectors, to small. They need to be like 10-12ga but have not found them anywhere.
In one of those threads, there was pictures and part numbers of bullet connectors bought from NAPA, they even had the dimensions listed as I recall.
Correct, but they are standard 14-16ga bullet connectors, to small. They will not fit. Unless my 2018 tractor they started using larger connectors for some reason?
No, those NAPA part #s are to small, they are the same connectors you can buy at any parts store etc. The ones on my tractor are largerer bullet connectors, just enough that they are to loose to connect with the connectors at most stores. I don't have them in front of me, but you hold them up you can visually see they are bigger by a 1/16" or so.
They are likely metric connectors since the CUTs seem to be a global platform. The difference between 5/32" / 3.96mm (an imperial standard) and 4mm isn't much but it is enough to make a difference in fitment. Here are some standard connectors that include strictly metric sizes.
It's a really common issue in electronics. For example imperial PCB hole layouts, going back to at least the 1960s, were on a .100 inch grid, or 2.54mm. The metric standard is 2.5mm. For things like header strips, you can use imperial and metric interchangeably up to maybe 4-6 pins since there is enough slop in the tolerances that allows both to fit a line of holes laid out to either standard. But you'll still find both standards in common use today and readily available from parts jobbers.
These are the ones you need, They are .180 connectors.
Isn’t that what the others posts I referred you to said?
My mistake:banghead:, every auto parts store I went to with 14-16 ga connectors were to small. I took it that they needed to be 10-12ga connectors. I guess they make the same 14-16ga connectors with different dimensions. I am going to try the NAPA, if not order threw internet.
