Title: Rewiring a RT56 Help Post by: Eric on May 09, 2008, 07:26:05 pm Hey guys... Does anyone have a wiring diagram they can post on wiring a RT 56?
the cord all the way to the little box is BRITTLE! no place really to splice into it safely. the rest of the wiring that comes out and goes everywhere looks good... but I have bits of cord cover all over the floor! :biggrin: So I want to get into that little box somehow and I guess that's where it starts?... :help: I know John told me he could help get me a wiring harness for this and I will probably get one for the one I'm keeping but for this one I'm gonna sell I just want to see if it runs and cools. Thanks Guys (and and you few gals) Title: Re: Rewiring a RT56 Help Post by: MoonDawg on May 09, 2008, 07:43:03 pm With a 1/4"drill bit or larger, shear off the existing hollow rivet in the junction box, and solder in the wires from an old appliance cord in place of the terminals from your old brittle cord .
You won't need the hollow rivet anymore, re-install the j-box with a long screw. Title: Re: Rewiring a RT56 Help Post by: Creighton on May 10, 2008, 12:58:18 am Eric,

Could you send me that or repost with higher resolution... I'd like to have that on file as well. Repost or email to signguy@cokenstuff.com Thanks John Title: Re: Rewiring a RT56 Help Post by: Eric on May 15, 2008, 10:43:22 pm Welp.... went out and bought one of those replacement appliance cords, drilled out the grommet like Glen said, soddered the wires and she fired right up getting cold... leaves and stuff came fly'n out when she kicked on :oh: :Oo:
.. Now I just need to buff it out a little, clean the kick plate up. Now I gotta wire the 72 .. (same problem) then rewire the latest 56 I got.... Thanks guys! :happydrinkers: Title: Re: Rewiring a RT56 Help Post by: Pat Pixley on May 22, 2008, 11:15:23 pm Creighton I would also like to get a copy of that for my files
