Tether to plug in and Replace Cat Tether??

[SHOOT DEERE IT IS]

Is there a tether out there I can just unplug my cat tether(which didn't even make it a full season) and plug another one in using the rest of the wiring that came with the Cat one?? Pro armor or something else?? Want it to plug into that 2 pin connector on the maybe 4" pigtail off the Cat tether.

TIA

PS: Buddies cat tether took a crap over summer as well. Both were the newer style I think with metal screw inside. Anyway, want to try a different option.

These guys say they have the pro armor plug and play. I haven't used it. You could just buy a basic Pro armor and splice it into your existing cat tether harness. Then you would have extra length to mount wherever you want.

I saw that thread but I think that kit comes with everything to be plug and play....I already have most of what I need. Just need their tether with this plug......

After looking at OFT's website, I'm not sure that tether has that plug on it, just the plug to go into the cat harness

Maybe I should buy there standard tether and splice in that plug off my Cat tether. Would that work? Are they both the same as in being normally open or closed switches?

Just call OTF and ask about their pro armor setup. The Cat tether is a piece of crap. Fails a lot, and just ices up which in turn makes it a huge pain in the azz to get back on. Screw in the cap also falls out over time. I have the pro armor tether on both my sleds this year. Would never go back to the stock crap. The pro armor has worked great. Only other design I'd look at is the one on the doo T3's. Ball and claw cap

Did you use the plug and play pro armor cat tether or did you splice and solder yours in?

I want to buy that pro armor tether, but eliminate that key that freeze all the time. And splice my tether into key wires instead

I spliced my Pro armor wires into the kill switch wires. I just used the universal pro armor setup.

What I like about the way it is set up now is the fact that if I have a problem with the tether, I can easily unplug the connector there in a matter of seconds and I'm good to go. Had it go out last year on the side of a mountain and in less than a minute I was going.

Installed Pro Armour's plug & play this weekend. Should be called "disassemble sled, plug, re-assemble and then play". Loom is located in front of fuel tank, so seat & tank have to be removed. But a clean, efficient result. Very pleased with outcome, would recommend, just don't plan on getting instructions in the package.

Go to an electrical supply store and buy the 2 prong plug and solder it to the pro armor switch.

If you plan to splice it into the kill switch wires, solder the connection at minimum. I had issues with my sled dying randomly when spliced into the kill switch without solder. Would run great for hours sometimes, then the sled would die and then not fire back up for extended periods of time. I ended up soldering the connection to the harness plug from an old cat tether and plugging it into the cat tether harness beneath the gas tank. No issues since.

Just do what you said above.

I have used these on numerous sled with good results.

Does this work? Just cut the old cat plunger type off and use the two prong plug and wire it to a pro armour?

old thread but since its been brought up upgrade to the 19 magnetic tether, its the cats ass. OTF makes an adaptor harness that plugs into the 17 and prior sleds
