It's wired up to the extra fuse block I added when I installed work lights. I mostly want it for a small 12v transfer pump that I use to water plants from an ICB tote. The pump came with battery clips. I don't like having to lift the hood to attach the power leads Driving around with the hood up isn't ideal either. (Don't pay any attention to the scratches and vertical pencil line 🙃)

Nice job! Way more ambitious than I, I just left a battery tender pigtail hang out the front for a sprayer (and a battery tender).

May I ask where you found that outlet?

Thanks! :)
I ordered it from Amazon.
Since I had already installed the auxiliary fuse block, adding this outlet didn't take long at all.
I put another SAE connector behind it. That way If I need to remove the dash cowl, I can just unplug it.

I did exactly the same thing last year with the same SAE port. I not only added one on my BX tractor I also put on on my Polaris Ranger to maintain the battery during cold winter months. Good Job.
