B3030 cab rear lighting kit

[LRH]

Thanks both to Ductape and LHR. Dropping the headliner was a cinch once I found out how to take those plastic rivets out. By the way, I had already put a lighter for a power source in that plug on the left side to run my sprayer. Fortunately, I put a toggle switch on it so, when a found a little magnetic mount light yesterday at Harbot Frieght it plugs right in so now I have a nice cab light for $2.99.

Thanks for the thanks, but is was ductape who did the headliner removal, and amigauser who supplied shots of the switch bracket and switches. I have not removed my headliner yet, but will someday. I probably won't do the rear wiper since I just use tractor on my own properties and we have very little snow, so I might try to pull down the rear lamp harness by removing and reaching through the return air intake. If that fails, I will drop the headliner.

Tried that; harness is taped in 2 spots; one on the right side of the roof and also next to the harness for the wiper. Wire needs to go thru that little indentation in the head liner by the back window in order to have enough slack to make it to the metal mounting bracket for the switches. You don't need to remove the entire headline: go up to the door rivet, take off the trim around heater control, pop out the side air vents, remove the fresh air knob and you can see all you need to see ( about 10 minutes). Are you going to use the Kubota switches or going to fab something. I imagine the factory switches are expensive (the front and rear are identicial) and I'm leaning towards just mounting a lighted toggle or rocker switch like I did on the lighter outlet.

Guess I'll partially pull the headliner. I don't have the switch yet, I may use the Carling Contura type(V or J series), as that is what My NH tractor uses, and they look and work well.

I wanted one of those nice looking green factory light switches they run 30 dollars plus PN 36919-54222. I figured I could make due with something else.

I like LRH's plan of putting the money into the lights instead of the switch

Hi,

I have a B3030-HSDC and have installed the correct Kubota factory kit, almost. The installation went fine until I pulled the headliner and I can not find the pigtail to attach to my new switch. I had assumed it would be tucked up in the right rear, but there is nothing there. Is it possible that a 2006 B3030-HSDC was not wired for the rear lights?

Any advice that might be offered would be appreciated.

I have an 05 and mine is taped up in the right rear corner, so i'd have assumed yours would be there as well. I haven't added the rear worklights yet, but i saw the pigtail there when i installed my rear wiper kit.

I did something similar to get me by until the day I decide to spend the $$ on a rear light kit. Found a wire somewhere nearby the washer tank and tie wrapped a lighter to the washer tank bracket. Found a magnetic mounted light at Tractor Supply. Light is stuck right onto the snow blower for winter and on back of the cab the rest of the year.
I haven't had the headliner out since March 2009 just after I got the tractor so I can't recall if any pigtails were there or not.

PS - Does anyone have a part # for the rear light kit? A word search doesn't seem to get me far on either Google or any Kubota dealer websites.

Light kit is B7327 .......... my copy of the wholegood list is from 2009, but MSRP for the kit is $127.00. The price has probably been adjusted a few bucks now.

If you want a copy of the 2009 wholegoods list, PM me your email address and I'll try to send you a copy. If it's too large to email, I'd have no idea how to compress it...... but I'd be happy to give it a shot.

Thank you sir. I'll check Messick's website and see what I can find. As far as a 2009 list, my tractor is a 2009 model.
Update:
Messick's search function didn't turn up anything with that part # so I just sent an inquiry to them. Neil is always one to help on this forum so I'll see if I can't give them a play.
