How is everyone doing?

fxrs55 · Jan 15, 2014

Hello to all. How is everyone's new year starting out?
Hope everyone is doing well. I am now ready for spring
so I can start working many outdoor projects.
Did anyone get anything tractor related for
Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate.
Anyway good luck and good health to all in 2014.

My wife made (painted) a mailbox for me

I guess she finaly gave into the "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" philosophy :confused3: I hate to put it out - afraid it will get broken and I doubt I'd ever get another.

I also bought myself a set of LED lights that replaced the energy-hungry and somewhat obscure original headlights. Now the engine doesn't bog-down when I switch the lights on. The best to you also in 2014!

I like the mail box and the new headlights look like factory units.

Thanks. The LEDs can be had off ebay if anyone is interested - check around for similar ones for possible price breaks:

Do those lights have a hi lo function?

Ilikeurtractor · Jan 15, 2014

Unfortunately no. I tried opening the unit to rewire it to utilize the outer LED on "low" and both LEDs on "high" but I was worried about breaking the cover trying to get it apart so it is just on-off for me which is fine as I don't use lights much. The old high/low wasn't really that impressive (or useful) in my opinion on the original lights anyway.

No thaw here, -5F for tonight with 6-8 inches of new snow(Lake Effect) God I hope it freezes over.
Heating bill was off the charts for December.

Life is good
