I built a spray rig for that required a 12 volt power connection but had no handy power connection on the tractor. I considered using a modular connection for connecting the wires as needed, but then decided to add a 12-volt "cigarette lighter" type outlet instead. I don't know what else I will use this outlet for, but I figured it was more of a universal type connector and could be used for other things. After installing it, I did find another use . . . my small tire compressor is powered by a 12 volt outlet, as are a few other things.
I thought someone might be interested? It is installed in between my toolbox and the ROPS on the left rear side. I used a weatherproof outlet designed to be installed in Pick-Up truck beds, it came with about 12' of wire, a water tight cap and a heavy plastic housing. I mounted it by using a 3" by 3" piece of angle iron with a 1-1/8" hole drilled in it for the outlet. The outlet is switched so it is only powered when I want it to be powered.
The outlet is shown with the weatherproof cap removed.
