Can't find rear worklight wires for Kubota M tractor

[sixdogs]

Here's one of the lights I have. Round, fender mount halogen 50 watt, 4 amp. With my 10 amp dedicated fuse I could run two with no problem. LED would be fine but I already have these new lights and they aren't going to get a lot of use anyway.

Look like good lights! Fender lights oughta work fine on your bigger tractor, too.

Yep, they'll work. Just gotta wire in a switch somewhere. Might be enough space within the housing to put the switch on one of the lights?

Lights look good! I'd definitely use them and save some $$!

I mounted the switch for the light on my old B7100 on the inside of the fender next to the seat. I drilled a hole on the inside of the fender near where the wiring harness comes through. Bought a cheap water proof toggle switch from HD and mounted it through the hole. It made the wiring simple since it was next to the wiring harness and near the fender mounted light wires. The switch was protected and easy to reach between the seat and fender.

Great idea.

I have put them in the housing before so that's my plan.
By the way, I still admire your 3910 FWA. You lucky dog to have that and in such great condition.

The switch there is a good idea but since the Kubota OEM light is on the light itself, that's my current plan.

Thank you. Yep, I'm very lucky to have found it. I put more hours on it than my Kubota. I'm lucky to have both sizes.

Your 3910 saga again confirmed I needed a tractor that size so after much looking gave up on the 3910/3920/3930 series and bought this M6800 Kubota. It surely did not look this nice when I got it and this is after a lot of elbow grease was expended. Only 430 hours. I'll do a story on it later. Oh, I told my wife you were to blame for the purchase.

You can do that?? I'd never thought about blaming Richard for that kind of stuff. :laughing:

No worries about the wife, we have a lot of distance between us!!!!

My 3910 had issues. But it's proven itself. How many HP is the 6800. I like it.

If you do a thread about it and I don't show up, bump me a PM, I might miss it. Look forward to reading the story!!!
