Work Lights on a 790

   / Work Lights on a 790 #12  
Does anyone know where you could get a connector that fits the factory one on a 4010(I assume it is similar to the others)? I don't really have a problem with cutting it off but it would be easier if I ever decided to remove them or something.

I would check with your JD dealer as they can get them for you. I ordered my 2 from my dealership and the cost was like 5 bucks a extension.

Thanks RobS.
I contacted my JD dealer, and they have both the worklight and the harness in stock. I'm going to stop by there this week to take a look. The price he quoted was $37 for the light and $5.01 for the harness. (I wonder how they came up with the extra penny.)

Like RobS, I've the factory work light. Cost was about $38 which included everything.
I've had this light for about three years (swapped it from my 670 to my 790 when I traded up).
Installation takes about 5 minutes. The connector you plug into is under the seat. You need a combination or open ended wrench to tighten the nut. Tightening the nut is the toughest part since there isn't a lot of clearance between the tire and fender. Can't recall the wrench size, but I think it's 15 or 16 mm. Check this before installing the light.
If your usage is to plow your drive, the light is quite adequate. I had the hots to add a few more lamps..but not really necessary. Just aren't moving fast enogh to worry about more lighting. If I were going to plow on a public street (even a rural one), I would probably add more lights (and a strobe). The stock lamp, as others have stated, works off the light switch on the dash. Since you already own a 790, you know it's a multi-position switch. There are times I wish the work light was independent, since you cannot have the flashers on when the work light is on. For field use, no big deal...but on the rare occasions I'm on the road (while pushing snow), I'd like to have both the work lamp and flashers on. One of these days, I'll do something about that...

There's quite a few farms around my area. I've yet to see one of the tractors with more then two rear facing work lights. Most had only one, though. Most of the Deere's had the same light I had.

Thanks Roy for the information.
I was wondering if one would be enough, but as I don't need to go onto a public road, I think I'll just add one for now. If during this winter, I think I need, (or just want) a second one, I'll add it then.

Roy,
You were right.
It's a 15mm wrench size to attach it to the fender, and it's a bear. I could only get about a 1/4 turn before bumping into something. But, it only took about 15 minutes, and one knuckle to get it installed.
One other thing. It appears tht the "harness" is needed because the standard wires are just a bit too short.
Thanks to everyone for the help.
