Looking for work light power plug location.

Adding work lights to my ZD 1211.
There is a circuit in the fuse box (With no fuse installed) for auxiliary lights but I can not find the pigtail.
Does anyone know where it may be tucked away?

Thanks

Could it be that there is no pigtail. That you must plug into the back of the fuse box with the "appropriate" plug.

You could add a fuse tap

Or go hog wild and add your own electrical system

I don't know your tractor. On the newer L series Kubota tractors it's tucked under the right rear fender. You must look carefully as it's easy to overlook. I believe on other models it's under the left rear fender. Or, as the guys suggested, you may need to run a wire. If you can find a parts diagram it may show the work light and where it connects.

The WSM was not much help, but it does say the wiring should be Red with a Green stripe. The OEM lights Mount on the rops, so I suspect the majority of the wiring comes with the lights as opposed to being tucked away on the machine like on the tractors.
Start at the fuse box and see if you can trace a Red / Green wire.

I mounted lights on my ZD326, but used the brute force method and ran my own wiring. I put them on the front axle pivot cover, and they work very well there.
Good luck, and be sure to report back!

I found the pigtails.
It is wrapped in blue tape behind the left rear wheel.
It looks like there is one on the right side in same position also in blue tape.

Yes then under seat add a fuse in the work light spot. It comes with no fuse installed

PHP:

As mentioned I found the power for auxiliary lights and I finished the installation of two LEDs in the front and one in the rear.
I have not used them outside yet but they throw decent light in the garage.
The charging system capacity is only 15 amps so I check the current draw which was 5 amps.
Looking forward to mowing in the evening.
