Parking brake for L2800DT

[krkadad99]

I would like to install a parking brake indicator lamp in my control panel. I took the panel apart and it looked pretty confined and confusing. Twice my wife has driven the tractor around with the parking on and nearly burnt my brakes up. I would just like to have some type indicator to show that the brake is on. Anybody have any good ideas on how to do this will be greatly appreciated.

The L2900, L3300, L3600 & L4200 have the switch for the indicator light on the break locking lever... KennyV

Thanks for the reply KennyV but I have a 2008 L2800DT, there is no switch on that lever or a lamp associated with it that I can see.

Right .... BUT you could use the same system Kubota is using on the others... you may need to fabricate a mounting point... KennyV

Hey thanks again KennyV, do you know where I can get a schematic of these other models. The schematic I have for my L2800Dt came in a WSM I ordered for it.

It will also be in the WSM...
Bet your local dealer parts guy will print you the schematic page for free... KennyV

I put an indicator light in the black trim panel above the guages, and used a threaded momentary on switch and made a small bracket for it.

Charlie, was there a specific reason to use the wing nut?
