Hi all,
Struggling to identify the attached connector on an old Ford tractor part. It's part of an engine rpm sensor and has only two prongs. There is a ribbed rubber seal inside. There are also two locking tabs on opposite sides of the connector. Most connectors I have seen only have one on the top.

Any help gratefully received!

Have you checked these guys? They have a lot of stuff for old tractors. https://www.steinertractor.com/
Thanks for the link. I'll keep them in mind for future projects.
Perhaps I should clarify a bit. We have procured the brand new sensor. Problem is whoever took the old one off cut the female connector off the tractor too. We now just have two bare wires we need to connect to the sensor. I'm looking for a connector which I can solder/crimp onto the cable to mate with the pictured sensor.

I'm usually able to find connectors for farm machinery. Most stuff we have uses DIN connectors and/or XLRs sometimes. When my friend said he had a two pin connector on a part but no matching female connector I thought "no problem, I'll soon find one" but so far I've come up empty handed.

I'm sure I could improvise something along the lines of what you suggest with the bullet crimps @Lyonspride . Failing that, I could trim the plastic back a bit and solder 100mm of cable onto the pins and stick a more standard connector on it. I could then just heatshrink the whole thing up.

Sounds like a plan, when I needed a fan switch/thermostat for my car (Ford), I found the Ford specific item was quite expensive and clearly prone to failure, but seeing as i'ts just a standard M22x1.5 fan switch, I ended up buying one (of the same temperature rating) with faston terminals (sold as being for an Alfa Romeo), I then cut the Ford connector off my loom and fitted standard 6.3mm faston crimps.
