Digital weigh-head cable problem

[Woolless]

My dog has chewed the end off the cable that connects the weigh-head to the load bar on my Rancher Gripper . Had a proper look at it tonight. I was hoping that the load bar end would be similar to the other end and would simply need disconnected and replaced. But it goes in to a housing that I was reluctant to poke about with.

So, what's the best way to proceed? I don't even know what the proper name for the cable is! Photos below, with the culprit in the background.

You love him really .


Strip them out both ends if theres enough . Get some appropriate size heat shrink ( and bigger sleeve to go over the lot at the end )slide on one end.

then solder each wire and shrink the sleeves over and s bind of insulation tape over the top again if you like.

Hmm, soldering and the like isn't my thing, plus I can't even find the weigh-head end now. She's probably buried it! Thanks for the advice but I wouldn't trust myself to do it anyway.

Will I need to send it away to get repaired?

Any body handy like that will do it surely . Your Electrician ? Or car garage even ....

It's easy Just need a steady hand and a hot iron for soldering just remember to tin the ends up a bit before starting proper manner .It's all on u tube yanks mainly who refer to it as sodering

I do all that sort of stuff of my own repairs pratical Pete is my name......Its the bledy paperwork type stuff I cant do
Btw I see the tail wagging action was caught by the camera.

Busted the end of my Ritchie digital scales this spring. Of course spare parts couldn't be got but my local electrical repair guy put new male and female ends on weigh scale and bridge.

Had a look at a couple of websites. I'm definitely not forking out for a new loadbar!

If you have the end i could sort it for you no bother.

That would be great, if I can find it! Suspect it may be a bit chewed but I would think that a replacement wouldn't be too expensive. No idea of the terminology for this type of thing, however.

Let me know and i will come over and fix it. Similar happened to mine but i yanked it out a trailer and ripped it apart. Try peter sanderson at duns for new ends.

Ah yes, Peter might have new ends or know where to get them. After splashing the cash on three new ring feeders he'll be falling over himself to help me!

I may well take you up on your offer. Thanks!

There is a firm called Allied Weighing, who have said they could fix mine probably, (squirrels ate my cable), if all else fails you could give them a call. I tried repairing the wire myself but it must have got some damp in because the weighing was all over the place.

Dropped it off at Peter Sanderson's yard last Friday and came home on Wednesday night to find it sitting in my shed and fixed

howabout slide it in an unchewable sleeve or bit of ducting or something ... to save it from F. Dawg.
