The protective insulation often gets worn through on the wiring loom of 135 tractors. This usually happens after years of vibration, the wires rubbing against the engine. It is also quite common for rats to chew through wiring looms! The result is at best an inoperative electrical system, but it is not unusual for an electrical fire to start – particularly if there is oil stuck to the side of the engine.
Prices for a wiring loom are around the £25-£30 mark, and you can compare prices here.

If your tractor won’t start and you can’t find what is wrong then it is often the safety start switch that has gone wrong. These are cheap and easy to replace, as they are easily accessible on top of the transmission housing, just in front of the gear lever.
Buy the safety start switch here.
The high/low range selecting gear lever has to be in the ‘start’ position for the electrical circuit to allow the ignition switch to start the engine. This part can be fitted in just a few minutes and you will soon have your tractor up and running again.
