Would anyone be willing to explain or show me how the factory routs the headlight wire on a B7100 HST? Can't believe it just hangs over the radiator Like it does on the one I have.

Thanks

I only have this one pic, but the wiring is supposed to be clipped to the inside of the left (as seen from rear) hood "leg" and then is clipped to the hood at the Kubota bull emblem between the headlights. Pic is taken with the hood laying upside down.

Wire for the headlights had 4 butt splices and a roll of black tape holding it together. I cut it all out and ran new wire from the bullet splice above the oil filter. Pretty obvious it had been cut or damaged several times and what I would like to prevent in the future.

If I run it down below the radiator it gets in the way of the oil filter If I run it over the radiator it could get pinched and I would be back to square one. I am missing the clips but have a gazillion wire ties. I will try to see if I can figure out what Lil Foot is telling me.

Thanks
