LK3054 Rear Electrical Connector

[To20Chris]

Does anyone know if the mate to the rear connector is a standard part? I want to hook up some lights at the rear and on the ROPS, and would like to connect using the rear connector. Also, I hear Henro says I can just hog big 1/2" holes in the ROPS and it won't matter /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

From what I understand there is not standard american plug that connects to the female connector on the lk3054{some odd ball asian setup}. I cut mine off and patched in a standard 4-pin plug that you would use on any trailer wiring,

I personally would not drill into the ROPS. Just IMHO.

Radar, Chris was making a joke based on an ongoing joke about a post Henro made some time ago about drilling his ROPS. It never seems to go away, unfortunately. John

Yeah, I was just joking about drilling the ROPS! I'll make a clamp on arrangement of some kind. I guess I'll ask the dealer if mating connectors are available, or email Kioti.

I have a 2554 and I'm guessing the electrical connector on your 3054 is the same thing. I called the Kioti factory and talked to one of the people there. He told me that the connector on the tractor is actually produced by Kioti and that they don't sell the mating connector. (seemed pretty strange to me). I then followed the advice of other and cut off the kioti plug and replaced it with a standard 4 pin trailer connector of about the same size.

Wow - that's strange - and stupid of them! I really don't want to do that, but it's pretty useless to have a connector that cannot be used.... /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Oh but there is an adapter. Here is a picture of the back of a LK3054XS. It shows the big port, that plugs into that smaller round connector (your may or may not have that big port, all new Kioti’s do I believe). The adapter is sitting above and you wire that however you need. Sorry about the bad digital picture making the tractor look pink....: crazy: old digital camera....

 

[To20Chris]

OK, great! Now the obvious next question is where do you get it? I'm assuming from Kioti?

 

[depratt_equip]

I emailed Kioti to try and get a part number and price. I didn't see it in the old LK3054 Manual. I will keep you posted.

That is a different connector than the one that came on my 2554.
