Lights

[George2615]

This morning I got about 3 hours of seat time moving snow at a vacant property I'm selling. I had not plowed there in a couple weeks so snow was about 1 1/2' deep. The LS handled the job with no problem. When I got home this afternoon I installed some light brackets I made a few days ago and added some additional lighting. I bought some amber flashing lights (installed 3 on front, 3 on rear). Also added a 120W LED 24" work light on the rear. first two pics show the lights I bought. Third is a front pic at night just the amber strobe lights. Fourth is a pic of the garage with just the amber strobe lights at 20' away. Fifth is also taken at 20' with the work light on. No problem seeing behind at night now.

Very nice! a work light like yours is definetly going to be the next addition to my tractor.

Another day and more to do on the tractor. Today I installed a radio in the cab. It's AM/FM/CD/ and bluetooth compatible. Speakers, antenna, and wiring harness were already in place, just had to trace which wires did what. Works great. Also there's pics of the front amber LED strobe bar and rear LED work light bar and strobes.

Next item to do is install a tool / parts box. I have a nice old metal ammo box I sandblasted and repainted. Need to pick up some materials to make a frame to hold it. The bottom right side of the rear window has a bracket with threaded holes where I'll attach the brackets to hold the box. Pics to follow.

Looks good ... I used that same light bar on my R4047 and it was great. This new Massey came with F & R work lights ... I figured they'd be mediocre and I was planning to replace them with the LED's but surprisingly they're bright enough to leave alone.

Radio install looks good... I put one in mine too, replaced the stock speakers (which were actually Clarions) with Rockford's ... sounds better and they were inexpensive. Downside to 4" speakers is that there's practically ZERO bass. Too bad they don't fit 6.5" or 6x9's in tractors. I'm assuming you're stuck with 4" too?

I think my factory speakers are 4". I could add better speakers but factory quality is good enough for me. Your radio looks very close to mine. Tractor came with frt. and rear wipers / washers, front headlights, lower hood grille work lights, and cab roof work lights but no rear work light. I made the light support bars (front and rear) out of 1 1/2" angle and used Stainless hardware.

nice install. I also added a strobe and it sure does let people know you are there.

I put in a 4 channel stereo and I am thinking of making a pair of 6 x 9 speaker boxes that fit low to the floor down near the pedals, I'm not so sure it will work yet though.
