On my 39 Series 61 the cloth taped 3 wires that go from the main engine wire harness that goes to the starter, there are two wires that look like 12 gage and one that look like 10 gage. 

My question is what are the two smaller wires for?  One of the previous owners done some wire modifications and it looks like the two smaller wires are disconnected.

Thanks in advance for your help.
