i don't own a 420..but..if i had no choice but to run the wires down that side..i'd one..make sure it was as far as posible from the ex..and two..i'd buy some wire loom protection...it's ribbed plastic..split down the length..it may save you from a melt down on your wires.
Winch wiring on same side as exhaust ok?
Hey all,
2007 Rancher 420. Just got my winch and looks like the motor is going to be on the LEFT side of the machine. My main winch wires (goes from winch back to actuator) are BARELY long enough to reach if I route them along the left frame. I'd like to go along the right frame, but too short. My concern is that the exhaust is on the left side. Am I worrying for nothing? There are some other wires and components along that side of the frame and seem to be ok.
If the wires were longer, I'd just route along the right side...but then again, longer wires present problems of their own.
Of you guys out there with 420's...what side of the machine is your winch wiring on?
Thanks in advance!
Randy
