Some guys got all the luck, on my 354C the hood hits the front brace which is part of the FEL. And as an added bonus I just got my tractor delivered to our other home but it was late, but I've had it for almost a year and its been parked on the side of my house (in the city). Well I was really itching for some seat time /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif so I jumped on in and the sun was setting, I figured no big deal I'll just use the headlights. Well I learned really fast that front end loaders and headlights dont like each other. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Now if someone made a ROP mod for the lights steer me in that direction. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
I also installed a dash light to indicate "ON". My Kubota has this and it saves me from having more hours on the meter than actual. See attached photo
I used a simple Radio Shack 12 V DC lamp assembly, part number 272-336. It comes with spades off the base. I made up two leads with spade and ring trminals. To take Gregs advice to avoid another circuit, I attached it to the horn. The horn is only active when the tractor is "ON".
This is the true idiot light. But hey, I bet I have saved several hundred hours on the KAMA's hour meter!
I'll say it again, this sure is a beefy tractor. I hope to get some seat time this week, I'v been busy installing my hardwood flooring this weekend.

Patrick,
That is a good solution, I will see if we can get Koyker to make that modification, if not we will start doing that when we install the loaders.
Customer feedback concerning day to day use is very helpful, thanks for the tip!
