We've all made similar mistakes, but I think that $660 is robbery. There is no way Kubota pays more than $50 for that box.

THAT is a modest markup. You have no idea how much markup you pay for the mostly garbage you buy.

But if it's too high, make one yourself.

Hey SC, i put two switches to the right of steering but directly above throttle. there are 2 punchouts located there and while there is some loose wiring behind dash it ws pretty easy to fish my wires thru the dash to the bottom several inches above floorboard and then drill thru firewall to engine area to finish running wiring. i also found a 12v wire that only gets power when key is on tucked under the dash by floorboard. it already had a female connector on it that was not being used. a single wire. if you want i will take picks this weekend.

Pretty sure all of us had our moments know that I have like the old saying goes measure twice cut once,for me its measure 4-5 times.

We have a coat closet with door in our living room. When we bought the house, we changed the carpet. The new carpet was thicker, so the door rubbed the carpet. I needed to cut 1/2" off the bottom of the door. So, I measured twice, wrote it down, took the door off the hinges, took it out to the garage, marked it carefully, then cut 1/2" off the top of the door....

And I used the tooth bar on my bucket to add an air hose pass-through port to the side of our garage, too.

My best friend and I got laid off from our jobs at the airport. He left, did an angry burnout, lost control, and ran his '66 Vette into the wing of a Mooney 201 airplane that just came out of the paint shop about an hour before. And he was the one that parked the plane there instead of putting it in its hangar... all on Friday the 13th. About $30,000 in damage to the plane. Cracked windshield and dented windshield frame on the Vette. He had to sell it, because the insurance man told him he'd never be able to afford car insurance for the rest of his life! :laughing: He had to drive beaters for about 10 years.

I ran a stump through a CTL windshield. That one cost me a tad less than $400. Plus the $600 frame got bent and I traded firewood at the metal fab so have it straightened. Twice...
