Good eye Kent. Your right , not typical RC gear but perfect for outdoor, sealed and easy to connect and disconnect wiring.

I agree Neil, my favorite connector! One of the perks of doing rebuilds at work. All the original wiring throughout a machine is thrown in the garbage and replaced so I asked the boss if I could take some old connectors off the harness.
Speaking of harness, I had a great idea last night. My plan was to just lay the wires on the ground behind the the work area and around to the screen and conveyor. But then my outdoor brain kicked in and thought, between the squirrels, chipmunks and mice there's a pretty good chance they might nibble on the wires so to minimize that from happening I used a lenght of some plastic plumbing tubing. The soil is wet and soft so I was able to push it through the dirt and make an instantly buried conduit I guess you could say.
There is still exposed wire but atleast I can see if there's any eating going on.
