Does anyone know how to wire the dashboard switch for the rear worklights for a Kubota B2650?

it is the coolest tractor ever.. perfect size for my place. the serial number is A0106, so i figure i'm the 106th kid on the block to get one... i just finished putting the rear work lights on.. so now i need the proper connectors (the wire is there with the female connectors).. and i need a proper rocker switch for the dashboard. I had to drill the holes in the brackets for the lights.

If it's anything like the B2620/2920, there are leads already run to the rear right fender for the work light circuit, which are switched on when the ignition is on. You can wire a switch inline to the light from those leads. On the B2620/2920, there is a blank panel on the fender that is a perfect place for switches.

I haven't looked yet.. but i'm thinking if the tractor is already wired for the rear work lights, then surely it will be wired at the dashboard for the switch.

Congratulations! The B2650 is an awesome tractor. (I have a B3350 on order as we speak.)

As for the wiring, yes, I believe the tractor already has the all the wiring pre-installed for the rear work lights based on what I saw in the parts diagram. You should only need to order the switch (p/n: TD350-75360).

Best of luck!

Behind the dash, at least on the B3350 . . . the B2650 should be the same, the plug and wire for rear work light switch is secured with blue tape to an upper portion of the wiring harness. It is not reachable without partially removing the dash so as to remove the tape and bring the plug down.

To remove dash, remove one Phillips head screw under the center package cubby. Then loosen two 10 mm hex head bolts one each side under the bottom lip of dash. Lift steering wheel rubber boot and then pull dash outer section up and to the right.

Here's a picture of my rear work light install, they are 36 watt LED's ($57 eBay) and provide much better light than the stock front work lights. Note that the "lollypop" light brackets on the "larma's" B2650 look to be reversed from the way mine were delivered. This opens allows mounting the work lights higher and in the recess area of the rear roof line as shown here:



I made some simple brackets to mount the work lights using the existing lollypop light bracket, shown in primer:

DOES YOUR TRACTOR CLEAR THE STANDARD GARAGE DOOR HEIGHT?
IF SO BY HOW MUCH, DO YOU HAVE THE 3350 OR 2650.
I JUST ORDERED THE 2650 FRIDAY

I have a B2650 with turf tires (larger tires compare to R4) and I had to completely remove the capping around the garage door, re-frame and got the aluminium done by the same company that installed the door a few years ago. All together $400 but so worth it, warm tractor on startup, snowblowing in t-shirt and sandals! Current door height is 85" and I just clear the weather strip.

What is the highest point, the cab roof, mirror's or lights?
Thanks for the quick reply.

What pressure do you run in rear tires?
 
/ Kubota B2650 #13  
My garage doors are a bit taller than "normal" (if there is such a thing), at 93". My B3350, which is the same size as the B2650, fits with no issues . . . don't even have to slow down.

I have the industrial tires, pressure is per the manual at 20 psi rear and 35 front. The highest part of the tractor is the roof at maybe 85.5 inches, the rubber ducky radio antenna is 90.5" but it'll bend over if need be.

The height of the 50 series cab was one of several reasons I went with the K-orange instead of the M-orange :c).

Does anyone have a B2650 with actual dimensions, 93 for standard header height is not normal, but good in this case.
I ordered the B2650 with Turf tires, 51" snow blower, 60" mid mower deck and 60" loader.
My rear tires will be weight loaded, this with actual height data of the B2650 would help.
All comments & data appreciated.
Picture added today is my buddy Jangles, He will be my Co-Pilot.

Kubota's brochure and spec sheet list the height of the B2650 and B3350 as 84.5 inches. See: http://www.kubota.com/product/b50/documents/b50_spec.pdf

I think the turf tires will add a small amount, sorry, don't know how much, and detract some from traction in the snow.

I have a golden retriever who would love to be my co-pilot . . . unfortunately, not enough room.

I have all that info and more, but the actual is usually a different story.
My Kubota RTV1100 was an 1.5 inches lower than the specification's indicated.
Thats why I was looking for someone with the same model and configuration as mine with actual numbers.
Is their anyone to bump this for priority so it gets more viewing?

I was told by the dealer that the wiring for the rear lights and the radio were already factory installed, hope he is right.

He is right. There should be an earlier thread on this. If you want almost "plug and play", though more expensive and with less performance, order the Kubota rear work light option. At the very least, you will want the factory switch for the rear lights. I purchased 36 watt LED "flood" lights on eBay, super bright and completely blows away the stock 35 watt halogen front lights. I ended up replacing those with LED's too.

To access the wiring for the Kubota supplied switch, you will need to remove the upper instrument panel. Easy to do by removing one Phillips head screw at the center (under the cubby upper lip) and one 10mm hex bolt under each lower front corner of the panel. You will find the wiring harness white plastic plug taped up to a larger wiring harness out of the way so you cannot reach it without removing panel.

The wires for the rear work lights are found at the rear upper corners of the cab. They are terminated with female plugs. I made the male connectors to connect with the female plugs but an easier method might be to just install a suitable new female/male connector of your choice.

These are the same lights I used, though from a different seller, and these even include connectors (you will need splice these connectors into existing wiring, they are not compatible with existing plugs).
