Buy one spool, maybe 2 and get started (WOOT!, two colors!!).
200 feet of wire goes a long way.
My 198? Cub has never had a wire off, except for the battery cables.

Because eventually you or the next owner will need to troubleshoot something or replace a chafed/broken/corroded wire, and you/they will be pissed if every wire has to be traced with a DVM. (I once owned a 125 that had been rewired entirely with gray wire...I never could get it to work and I wound up replacing it) When your 1980-something tractor is 25 years older than it is now, you'll probably have some rewiring to do. Your one tractor is not representative of every one in existence. Wiring harnesses are color-coded for a reason...one that you wouldn't understand since it sounds like you've never had any wiring issues to fix.
