Kubota B3000HSDC, Allis Chalmers 5020
Added front and rear 27 w LED work lights. 2600 lumens from each really brightens up the work area now.

Also added cab level caution/turn signal lights to increase my visibilty to other vehicles when I'm on the road.

Wanted a 12 v power outlet for use in the cab so I found one that had USB outlet as well. Installed it on the side of my dash pedestal.

Had some rust spots on the fenders so I removed them to repaint. While off it was a good time to add 2" wheel spacers.

Putzen around with the tractor is the only thing keeps me sane sometimes. Like what you did. 12v outlet is cool.

A couple of other items remain on my to do list. Fill the rear tires; add a quick hitch; add a more useful cup holder; add a block heater and add some side boards to my FEL bucket to make a snow pusher.

Added a block heater for the cold Idaho winters. Pretty straight forward but had to buy a 1-3/8" socket to install the heater in the block.

Cup holder is up next for me. I just added a third function with a new valve (so I have a real manual valve for grapple), and after the cup holder will be to replace the tail lights that have fallen off with more robust LED versions.

Ya, the cup holder has to be useful and where you can reach it easily. The one Kubota has made for my tractor is located as far behind me as you can get and still remain in the cab. Useless!

I'm hoping to find something that can be mounted up front and easily reachable. Looking at some Ram mount solutions.
