Finally got around to installing a rear work light on the dozer. I purchased a 6" Chrome off road H3 (Halogen) lamp from autozone, It's a 12 volt lamp, the dozer is 24 volt. Next was to find a 24 Volt H3 lamp, which I did find online for just a few bucks. To mount the lamp, I rummaged around my scrap pile of odd metal pieces, and found a "Z" bracket with a hole already drilled in it, not only that, the hole was already the right size, no cutting, drilling, no machining of any kind, How could this be ?. So all I had to do was attach the lamp to the bracket, hold it up to the dozer to figure out where it best fit. After selecting a suitable location, I scraped off the paint & welded on the bracket. Then primed and painted with matching Komatsu Dozer yellow paint, custom made by the NAPA auto paint store. Larry

Here is the bracket with the lamp removed and primed. The center pic shows how well that NAPA paint matches. The final pic on the left is the completed lamp. There was at one time a rear work light, but when I purchased the dozer it was long gone. The wire was still there, all I had to do was add a ground and a few push connectors to connect the new lamp. The headlight switch on the dozer is a three position, off, headlight, then headlights and rear work light. That switch still works great. Between the headlights & rear work light, now I can doze 24/7 Larry
