Given the wet and rainy conditions Nationwide outside tractor time has been limited this season as my land is still just mush. I've been reduced to using a field mower and my 4x4 ATV as a means to mowing the back half of my land (about 1.5acres). That made for some ideal garage project time. For this particular thread im going focus on changing my lighting from stock/factory bulbs to LED replacements and adding as close to factory looking LED work lights as possible. And here we go...
Replacement bulbs are headlights #912/921, tail lighting of #1156 and #1157. All worked perfectly and I could share the bulbs I ordered on request. They were available via Amazon.com
I created the work light holders using some square stock steel tubing, rattlecan primer and MF red paint as well as some U bolts from the store. I changed out the hardware for the work lights to neoprene washers, oversized washers and a lock nut to create a firm swivel joint so that I could turn the lights depending on what implements/needs I have for the conditions. I drilled wiring holes in the ROPS and added grommets to protect the wiring and keep a clean look. He wiring was then run through the ROPS and out the bottom next to the factory taillight wires, all wiring front to back is wrapped in a protective outer wire guard material. I used a step bit and added a rocker switch to the dash below the current lighting switch. All the wiring is run alongside/zip tied to the factory wiring harness underneath and up the back of the tractor. Given that this aftermarket harness had a fuse built into it and a relay I connect directly to the battery terminals for independent operation vs being on the key and drawing power through that circuit. I'd be glad to share more pics upon request.
