and I've lost the portion that plugs into the back of it--any know where I can get that piece before I start rebuilding the entire wiring harness.

is there a lawnmower junk yard that might have salvaged wiring harness?

If it's the same harness used in this RZT series mower

http://www.oscar-wilson.com/MANUALS/TROYBILT/769-05843.PDF

it is showing no longer available several on line places. (Part number 925-04847B ) You want to verify though that is the number you need. You probably can verify it by typing your exact model number in here:

Here's a replacement for the same number without the ending B.

Amazon.com: MTD Part 925-04109 HARNESS-MAIN: Patio, Lawn & Garden

There is a schematic toward the back of that parts manual that might be of help if you don't already have one.

Don't off hand now of any mower junkyards but you might ask around at the local dealers to see if they might know of some place local. Maybe some guy that picks up their scrap units.

Mark/Ohio, thanks for reply. Yea I found the harness, but hate to pay that much for an entir harness when all I need is the connector.

I've got the service manual now and tried to follow the diagram and got some help from Troy-Bilt support but the color of my wires are different from what's on the schmatic.

My next thought was how could I rewire the thing to not use the hour meter, some how it's in the start cycle, but that would problaly take a month...

So in about five minutes i have to spend some moneh...
