Wire Harness Assembly: The Synergy of Expertise and Quality

Agricultural and construction equipment serve as essential equipment in our economic machine, tirelessly performing in some of the most challenging environments. The harsh operating conditions of this equipment can result in substantial wear and tear, leading to downtime, extended deadlines, or unexpected expenses.

Wire harness assemblies are complex networks involving hundreds of wires and connectors, which are particularly vulnerable, and each has its own unique function and destination. Due to the rugged environments of agriculture and construction sites, these can be subject to many wear and tear impacts that compromise their functionality. For example, physical damage can be caused by abrasion due to the constant rubbing of sharp edges or other objects during use. Continuous vibrations can cause wire fatigue, and in agricultural settings especially, rodents might chew on the wires. Even prolonged exposure to high or low temperatures can degrade insulation material, making it brittle or causing it to melt.

Identifying the source of an electrical problem within these intricate assemblies can be daunting and time-consuming. Wires in agricultural or construction equipment can range from a few inches to a few hundred feet when figuring the cumulative length of all harnesses and connectors in an entire machine. Plus, a single piece of equipment can have several wire harnesses installed. Given the varied nature of these wire harnesses, a single malfunction can trigger significant downtime, and in the critical sectors of the industry, downtime directly equates to costly losses.

CNH Reman's remanufactured wire harnesses offer a reliable solution to these complex electrical issues and provide an additional layer of assurance. Each CNH Reman wire harness is more than just a replacement part; it's crafted with precision and tested stringently to meet or often exceed Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) standards. An industry-leading 24-month warranty backs these high-quality components and comes ready to install, providing peace of mind and time savings.

Recognizing the importance of legacy equipment in many agricultural and construction operations, CNH Reman keeps equipment of all ages in mind. When new or remanufactured wire harnesses aren't available for older machinery, a comprehensive wire harness repair and return program is in place to repair the damaged harness, reducing downtime and resuming efficient operations. This process adds quality and reliability through a 5-step inspection process and is backed by a 12-month parts warranty. Available only through Case and New Holland Dealerships.

CNH Reman is more than just a provider of remanufactured parts; it is a steadfast partner committed to upholding the operational efficiency of essential agricultural and construction machinery.

Wire Harness Repair vs. Replacement

The decision between wire harness repair and replacement depends on the nature and extent of the damage. Minor damages can often be repaired, making it a cost-effective solution; however, in many cases, there may be other issues that need to be identified in a quick repair that are identified in the extensive inspection process. In the event of extensive damage or wear, replacement becomes more practical by reducing the time spent locating the issues and the potential for more problems later.

While the upfront wire harness repair cost may be lower, investing in a quality replacement harness from CNH Reman can provide more value in the long run by reducing the likelihood of future breakdowns and ensuring reliable equipment operation.
