Looks good, especially for $6!:thumbup1gif:
$6 Rear Utility Light
Here is an inexpensive 20 minute way to light up the rear work area of your TPH. I picked up a $6 35 watt utility light at my local COOP. There were already two holes drilled in the cross member of the ROPS. I believe these are for the mount of 1026"E" warning triangle(?). I drilled out one of the holes to mount the light, pinch tapped into the black wire to my ROPS lights and BINGO, I have a nice rear work light. It comes on when the light switch is in the last lights on position. I think John Deere is charging around $50 for a rear plastic utility light. The other nice thing about these generic work lights, they are housed in a rubber case. Nice protection for weather and wear

Don't pull your post. Everyone can learn here by reading this.Thank you very much for the information. I was not aware of this. I do recall there was some discussion about the optional John Deere rear work light tapping into the "existing" black and purple wires via a "Y" connection. It would seem to me, that if John Deere isn't using a separate wire to support a rear light, then I could get away with using the wires and not overload the circuit. I will sure check into this. Do you think I should pull this posting????? I sure don't want to be the cause of anyone having a problem
If you look into why JD doesn't recommend this is because of possible overloading. You can still install the lights and be successful. Other owners have done this already. I am going to add lights myself but use additional switches just for versatility. I haven't decided on the JD lights or LEDs but I wouldn't hesitate to use the JD forward and rear kits together.
Just another opinion, it's your tractor.
