Well, I finally got around to adding the work lights to my Kubota B7510. I looked a a bunch of posts and finally had to do it a little different. My ROPS aren't foldable and I only have about 2" clearance coming into my garage and since I live in the mountains of NC, most of my seat time is in the woods and the mountain Rhododendrons at the edges of my tractor path brush against my ROPS a lot of the time - so everything had to be within the ROPS for protection. I decided on LED's since I could see that the lights were going to be right behind my head. As everyone knows, LED's cost more but give off only a little heat, draw only a tiny amount of power (I ended up with a 5 amp inline fuse) and they are rated at 50,000 hours. So, these are the ones I decided on:
Grote Industries: Product #63611 - Clear, Flood
I went with the floods since I knew my head was going to be a problem and thought the spots would get blocked a bit more. I used 1/2 x 2 HRS for the mounting bar with two 7/8" square CRS blocks welded on both ends. I bent the attachment brackets out of 1/4" x 1" and used 2- 3/8-24 socket heat flat head screws to draw it all together (I used fine threads since the bolts were only into 1/4" stock). I decided to add a couple 10-24 nylon tipped set screws to lock everything together and keep from rattling. I mounted the rocker switch in the plastic insert as I show here, using the inline fuse and wiring to the extra leads from the wiring harness at the rear. Anyway, here are the pics. . .
