JD310A Electrical Retrofit Project — Power Distribution Strategy

[Serge Colle]

Today we started the implementation:

• Installed all the lights. Used adhesive lock nuts on all bolts to ensure nothing comes loose.
• Installed the grommets for the upper spotlights.
• Determined the best location for the rocker switch panel (voltmeter and USB port): top center of the rollover bar, within reach of the driver’s seat.
• Identified and installed the best location for the cabin fuse box: on the left side of the cab.
• Ran wiring for the four upper spotlights (positive and ground).
• All wires are routed inside a wire harness (except at the corners for now.
• All connections were crimped and sealed with heat shrink tubing to ensure secure connections and eliminate any risk of short circuits.

yes we know the backhoe is rusted . We do have a plan project, for that too.
