It walks through panel removal, running zip cord, fusing circuits, and grounding. Best suited to owners planning their own electrical add-ons rather than shoppers evaluating the tractor itself.
Posted by an owner (Andrew, of B&B Land Services) documenting a DIY wiring project on his own 2038R.
Add a fuse block circuit near the right-hand PTO switch area, running zip cord from constant and switched power at the steering column to power lights or accessories.
On the left-hand side of the steering column behind the cover and knobs, where there are ground, constant power, and switched power studs tied to the ignition switch.
12-gauge zip cord wire is used, good up to 30 amps DC, fused with a 30-amp fuse where it ties into the power source.
It powers a third function valve kit, rear work lights, roll bar lights, and has an open circuit for future additions like a light bar or power outlet.
