bx22 work light

[Garrabo]

was super easy to install, the tail light wires are push together type under the fender, I just pulled them apart inserted the wire and pushed back together, no toggle though, I like all the lights on together

One thing I'll warn you about is that the wire ties are not going to last very long should you encounter any branches...DAMHIKT!! I've completely destroyed my aux light setup already, unfortunately, and have to rethink things, such as routing wiring a little differently and a more protected mounting system for the lights. (One of which is toast due to a recent encounter with the garage door frame...ching ching..)

Why not make a bracket such as the one used for the work light that comes in the work light kit from Kubota? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It simply consists of a short "u" bolt with a steel strap drilled in order to clamp to the ROPS with a hole drilled in the strap to mount the light. Just a thought /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I'd go with TOMNKY, and mount the light with a U bolt and a steel strap.

You might consider running the wires in a cable jacket too. The plastic jacket is available at Radio Shack and has a slit in the side. you slip it over the wires and it looks good. It will keep the wires from becoming a victim if you snag a limb.

Jim.. Did you connect your aux. lights to the spare connectors under the seat? If so, where did you find the connectors to match the Kubota connectors? I've checked two different auto parts store and all of their connectors are larger than the Kubota connectors.

Yes, they are connected under the seat. Those power drop-offs are there for the factory aux light kit anyway. I cut off the factory connectors and replaced them with a crimp connection that will not come apart easily.

That's what I thought...but even the jacket snags easily. I'm rethinking that, too.

Jim ,
If You come uo with a better solution , Let Kubota know about it as they run it in the plastic raceway /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I ran my wires through the ROPS. No chance of snagging there. I posted a few pics of my install a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, they're pretty small.

I ran mine inside the ROPS as well. Takes a bit of patience to string them in there, but it makes for a very clean and neat install. I originally ran mine on the outside using tie straps, and it lasted about 60 days that way.
