On that tractor aint no real good place - get you are relay via a fuse and go from there. Even on new tractors, users are taking a large diameter wire and running to a "new" fuse block - then running relays from there to lights and what not, thus the switch is not caring the amp load

Yup, generic fuse panel, with a generic relay. Main fuse directly from battery. Match main fuse to the load you will be applying, too large and its not protecting anything.

I'd take a gum wrapper over a 22 caliber round any day.
Seen some pretty bad harness meltdowns in my days.
Worst one was a kenworth- 48 wires. Burned from fuse panel on passenger side to instrument cluster.

Cant protect wiring enough. Was a dash screw that worked its way into wiring.
