eddeere Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Looking for a harness for a 1961 B 61. Tried to got an estimate from Harnesses Unlimited but they do not have anything this late. Vintage wiring of Maine has one for about $1900 Watts $ 1600. I really do not want to make one myself but do have the schematic. Has anyone used the one from Watts. Any other sources ? Thanks.

HarryS Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Ed, I had one from Tidewater Mack that was still in the package when I got my truck. It is probably the same as the ones Watts sells. It was color coded correctly and fit perfect with the original look. They are pricey though.

Freightrain Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I'm still trying to figure out where the green wire with the white tracer goes???

eddeere Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Larry just send me the whole deal and some electrical tape. If I switch the green wire with the white one I think it will work. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48035-wiring-harness-b61/#findComment-355161 Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddeere Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 I think if I get this it will be the only computerized B 61. Won't that be great. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48035-wiring-harness-b61/#findComment-355262 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyT Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 E Deere!, maybe they have a " parking assist" accessory for your B, I've already suggested an air operated "compound shifter" controlled by computer along with a computerized clutch (to avoid the difficulty of having to remember the proper rpm to shift at!) Perhaps a "lane drift" accessory so you can text on your new "Mack branded smartphone" and not worry about staying in your lane😁 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48035-wiring-harness-b61/#findComment-357485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyT Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 The 57 autocar is really cool,has the wig wag low air warning which was the the last thing a lot of old drivers ever saw! As I those days many trucks didn't have maxis! And the 681C guide headlights that street Rodders covet and the guide baby spot!
