4WD indicator light

[2515R Dude]

I dont like driving on 4WD when it is not necessary since my property has asphalt roads and i feel it increases front tire wear unnecessary.

It was easier then expected.

I also added a working 4WD light to mine as well for the same reasons as you. However, I used the 4WD light that comes with the dash and that Branson didn't use. Pretty easy mod to do. I also made the Neutral light work as the older models (2018 and older I think) didn't come with it working.

I made a post explaining the entire process here: Parking Brake Light?

I could not find how to use the one which already there. I even don't know if my dash has one. I have a newer TYM model.
My tractor has parking brake light indicator on the right side of the dush.
Now I think how to make rear brake lights to stay off while on parking brake. While working on the backhoe the parking brake is engaged and lights become very hot

The dash should be pretty much the same.

I remember someone with an LS tractor that even had the lenses melt. I think replacing those bulbs with LEDs is a good idea.

Just curious, If dash the same, why you did not use the original light located on the right side?

 

[ptsg]

I did use the original light. On mine it was on the left and the parking brake indicator is on the right. I think they changed it when they went with the slightly updated dash that has the blue accent on the tachometer.

Oh, I was looking on the picture, it shows only pto and 4wd indicators.
Do you remember which wire goes to the 4wd light?

 

[ptsg]

I think I have the pin out somewhere.

Here it is:

Great, i'll use this to change my design.
Thanks a lot.

Now i need to think how to reuse the hole i made for my light Will keep me busy for a while

Voltmeter? 12V socket? USB Charger? Switch for auxiliary lights?

Switch for axillary lights is a great idea, tho i haven't decided if i need them. I work on my property during daylight only.
Probably brake light disconnector. Don't like them "ON" while working with backhoe.
But anyway, great idea to use it for some switch installation which i'll need if the future for sure .

All other things - see pix below.

I really like the new dashboard layout on the new models. Ignition and light switch out of the way just like it should be. I can't tell you how many times I've bump the switch or the key with my knees. Mine is a 2017 F36Rn, equivalent to the 3515R in the US but a Narrow version.

Also looks like it has tilt steering wheel? That's nice.

On mine, I added a small box right in the front of the 3 PT control lever with switches for front and rear aux lights and a USB charger/voltmeter.

Here is the solution for the ignition key.
Here is the thread i created for this FEL stick conversion

The tilt of the stirring wheel is useless IMO or i just not used to it.
Also i found how i'm going to close the hole, i'll just move this watch over.
