New worklight mounts for the 3038e ROP

[nikdfish]

I have some new rear remotes for the 3038e getting installed on the right side & wanted to redo the work lights to keep the lower right portion of the ROP clear for the remotes install. All wiring runs up the left, over & down for the right side mount. No penetration of the ROP for mounts or wires. The lightbar is needed to supplement the headlights as they get blocked by the bucket when it is raised enough for movement.

These are the clamps I printed in ASA (temperature & UV stable). M5 screws & nuts used for assembly. M6 for the lightbar mounting.

Here's the full pic. Top lightbar, front & rear side lights.

Worklight mounts

14 AWG silicon coated wire, marine shrink tubes & weatherproof connectors. The side worklights are new, replacing the two I originally used. The lightbar is from the original install a few years back. It was originally mounted under the ROP & could be rotated front or rear facing. After replacing the seat, reduced headroom had me bumping it sometimes so I redid the mounting approach & added the rear facing side lights.

So AWESOME !

Our YTOG group began this year with the community to make tractor replacement parts.
Fusion360 and FreeCAD are the commonly used 3D software's.

I'm adding your 'printables' link to our list.

THANK YOU SO MUCH !

A quick question, What is the square ROPS size on your machine. Not all square tubing is the same size.

It's a gen 1 3038e with fixed ROP, I think it is nominally 2" x 3". The clamps accommodate 53mm X 79mm.

I like this concept too.

Some of the vintage 60s, 70s and 80s tractor still have the glass tube fuses.
Looking at your handy work, it can be modified to replace something on my machine like this,

And merging it into the other Kubota 3D printed geometry, I believe this can be done.

In the tractor realm, we need more 3D printed models to keep our machines looking great and parts being available.
