Wondering what this is. There is 1 on each side of the cab. It has a flip down cover and then looks like a cigarette lighter plug in but smaller. Any clues what they are for .

I believe that is where a rotating amber warning light is plugged in. The mounting bracket is there also.

Those are for beacons that you can get for your cab. There should be a switch in the cab somewhere. I have the same thing on mine.

Thanks for the reply’s guys.. love the tractor so far, but don’t think they could have put a cheaper radio and speaker set in there if they tried

I also upgraded the speakers. Check out this video
LS XR4145C - Part 4 - August Update - YouTube

skip to about the 1:30 mark where I talk about the radio and speakers.

One of the factory speakers was blown when I got the tractor, which is odd since I installed the radio. But with these speakers, I can listen to music or audio books all day while running at 2500rpm and not miss a word.
Takes a bit of modifications to make them fit, but totally worth it.

Yes it's for a beacon light. Many tractor brands have the same plug. You can search online for a BMW motorcyle 12v plug and you can find a male end to fit that receptacle. I use the one on my New Holland to activate a solenoid on my sprayer so I can turn it on and off with the flip of a switch inside the cab.
