    Rear work light on L3800

    I just found out that my L3800 has a 10 amp fuse marked "Work Light" in the fuse panel. I poked around in the back of my tractor and found an un-used two wire connector under the left fender, by the lights. I also checked the Illustrated Parts List for the 3800 on Kubota's site and see that they...

On my 8N I used a pair of stay chains to support the bush hog because my 3ph would drift down and drag it on the ground. With the chains I...
