This 14-pin Deutsch CID Swing Boom harness is designed to let you plug a CID swing boom style attachment directly into a skid steer or compact track loader equipped with a 14-pin electrical connector. It gives you clean, plug-in control of your swing boom functions through your machine’s factory controls, without cutting into the original wiring.
The harness uses a genuine 14-pin Deutsch connector on the machine side and is pre-terminated on the attachment side for typical CID swing boom controls. Once connected, you can operate the attachment using your standard auxiliary switches, just as if it came from the factory wired for your loader.
It’s ideal for operators who want a simple, reliable way to run CID swing boom attachments on modern 14-pin machines, or to clean up improvised wiring on existing tools.
The harness is laid out so that commonly used swing boom functions are routed through the 14-pin ports. Typical functions supported include:
Actual behavior depends on how your CID attachment is wired internally and which functions are present. On most machines, the joystick or switch panel will control these functions through the 14-pin connector.
Machine side: Skid steers and compact track loaders equipped with a 14-pin Deutsch style connector (Bobcat-style pattern used by many brands).
Attachment side: CID swing boom style attachments that are designed to be controlled electrically via solenoid valves or similar circuits. Always confirm your attachment’s connector style and wiring before installation.
Installation is straightforward:
Once installed, start the loader and test each function one at a time to verify correct operation. If any function does not respond as expected, verify pin-outs and wiring before continuing use.
The harness is supplied ready to install and is designed for long-term use in harsh environments. If you need to move pins for a custom configuration or repair a connector, use a proper Deutsch service tool to avoid damaging terminals or seals.
For shops, fleets, or anyone who regularly services electrical connectors, a professional-grade Deutsch tool is strongly recommended instead of improvised picks or generic tools.

This harness is built using OEM-style components and wired for typical CID swing boom attachment layouts. However, machine and attachment wiring can vary by model, year, and previous owner modifications. Because of this, we cannot guarantee that every function will align perfectly with every attachment in every case.
Always verify pin-outs and wiring on both your machine and attachment before applying power. If you are unsure about compatibility or connection points, consult a qualified technician or refer to your equipment wiring diagrams to prevent damage to electrical components or hydraulic systems.
This adapter converts the standard Bobcat-style 14-pin machine-side connection into the wiring format used by CID attachments (6-pin/inline harness used by many CID attachments), allowing a Bobcat loader to power and control a CID attachment.
It is compatible with loaders having a Bobcat-style 14-pin electrical output, and with CID attachments (like swing-boom cutters) that use the CID 6-pin / CID inline harness standard. Ensure your attachment uses the correct CID plug before using this adapter.
No. The adapter is plug-and-play — you simply connect the 14-pin side to your loader and connect the CID harness on the attachment to the adapter output. No cutting, splicing or soldering is required (assuming the connectors match your attachment wiring).
It is commonly used with CID attachments such as swing-boom cutters. Any attachment designed for CID’s 6-pin (or inline CID harness) wiring and compatible with Bobcat-style power output may be used.
Yes — installation is straightforward. Plug the adapter into the Bobcat 14-pin port, plug in the CID attachment harness, and you’re ready to go. No special tools are needed for a standard setup.
Yes. The adapter is designed to deliver stable power and control signals suitable for CID attachments. Because it uses robust connectors and proper wiring, it should tolerate typical worksite conditions including vibration and repeated attachment changes.
Yes — as long as the machine has a Bobcat-style 14-pin output and the attachment uses a CID-compatible harness, the adapter can be used interchangeably. It’s a flexible solution for mixed equipment setups.
First make sure all plugs are fully seated and locked. Verify that the attachment uses the CID wiring standard (not an aftermarket or modified harness). If the attachment still doesn’t respond, check wiring continuity and ensure the loader’s electrical system is functioning correctly.
