I'm the second owner of a CC102, no contact with the first guy. So, it's 57 yrs old, no reason to think it was not garage kept. Read recently on these pages of rotted wiring on tractors not as old as mine. Was the rot caused by living outdoors in freeze-ass cold and mind-warping heat? It didn't help.

Had to replace the solenoid couple weeks ago which meant moving wires around; causing a break in the wire from sol to gen/start. The exterior wire looked good. All other wires in the dash, original colors (green, yellow striped), while old and look it, are solid. Being braided are less likely to break, methinks. Voltage regulator, in proper colors, looks rewired. I'm ordering a battery disconnect switch, really cheap protection. Everyone should.
Cheers, Jack
 
i think the main thing is the age of the jacket. it just gets brittle. plus the heat of the engine and all the vibration. i smoked one just by moving the VR with the battery hooked up. i mean smoked. but it was all taped up. for those tractors you can buy a really nice new one for around 100 bucks shipped or build one yourself for a lot less. thats the route i am going for the ones i redo in the future. wiring is really simple on those ones.
