Great info, thanks. I have a 72" snowblower and need to put one on my rig.:thumbsup:

For anyone interested, it took me about an hour and a half to install.

Ductape, Very nice of you to share this install with everyone. Good job!!!

I'm still very happy I installed the rear wiper. I used it Monday during the blizzard that rolled through here.

I called my dealer today and they told me $250 for my machine. Ouch!

Thanks for the advice on the "rivets" ! I suspect i'll be adding the rear worklights in the near future.

I got the rear worklight kit from Messick a week or so ago. I've had the entire headliner out more than once when installing a stereo and speakers and am not in a rush to do it again.
I'm hoping I can remove some fasteners and drop the rear of the headliner enough to get at the area I need to get at for light installation.

JJZ, Does the "kit" include everything; 2 lights, wiring, brackets, switch, etc? Thanks.

Looks like I have lights, mounting brackets and bolts to attach to existing light brackets, switch and two heavy duty tie wraps.
Although I still haven't gotten to the project, it's my understanding that there are some pigtails from the factory under the headliner to power everything. The drawing that came with the kit show that, anyway. I'm thinking that Ductape could probably shed some light on this, seeing how he has recently had his headliner out. In fact, I think one of his pics shows that pigtail taped to the roof of the cab.
Price was $125 plus another $7 or $8 for shipping. Neil Messick ordered it and it came to me directly from Kubota Wholegoods in Groveport, OH.

JJZ, thanks for the info.

I did manage to do it without removing the entire headliner. Removed all fasteners from the door rearward. Also removed the screws and cover plate at the heat/AC controls. Was able to pull it down enough. Sitting in the seat, with the rear window open I could lean back enough to get to the pigtail taped to the ceiling from the factory. This pigtail goes to the switch provided with kit.
The other 2 pigtails for the lights are tucked up above the rear window, just behind each hinge. Had to snake 'em out with needle nose pliers. The little white plug on the left is the one your're looking for. 1st pic is before wire was tucked into loom and taped.
There are 2 pairs of M10 bolts. The longer ones replace the bolts that hold your factory signal/flasher lights to the bracket. The worklights will mount into the same hole as the signal/flasher lights on that bracket. The shorter set goes with the worklight brackets included with the kit. It's used to swivel the lights.

I used some plastic wire loom and electrical tape to wrap things up and protect from the weather. Finished product:

Just to back up JJZ, the rear work light kit comes with everything you need. I added the rear work lights to mine last winter. You should be able to get away with just dropping the rear of the headliner and pulling down the pig tail for the lights. From there its a matter of clipping the switch in place and bolting the lights on, as per JJZ's pics.
