7610 lighting refit

[Window Geek]

Here's some pictures with the loader in different positions and a from-the-front shot. Sorry for the blurry stuff. There's no flash on these shots so you get the best representation of the lights.

As you can see, the loader area fills in nicely even if you've got the headlights covered. If you're working up high with the loader, like dumping into your pickup truck, you can see the loader clearly without a lot of glare. Since the loader lights are under the edge of the canopy, they don't get affected by rain or snow.

I need to add some specific lighting to my 3 point hitch area next.

Sir Matt,
I am truly honored that you would say that. While I clearly do not have your fab skills, I'll happily take your recognition.

Um, and as usual, you do incredibly nice work!

In the mean time, if you ever want to sell that tractor Matt, you gotta let me know. It would be worth it to truck it all the way to Massachusetts! The mods are just amazing. 4 Shorts, thanks for visiting and checking things out.

Thanks for the kudos, and I'll be keeping Bambi for the foreseeable future as replacing her with a cab tractor doesn't fit in the budget. Besides I have more stuff to modify.

Matt I just spent the best part of an hour looking at your photo's. I am very impressed with the bends you make in all your hardware and your fabrication skills are second to none sir. All of it looks as if you picked up at the dealerships part department. Tip my lid to you my friend.

Thanks Paul. I like rounded corners for a couple of reasons...they look better, and most important...they don't slice skin open like sharp corners do. I really dislike pain.

Paul, thanks for the pictures! They certainly tell me a lot more than the manufacturers' descriptions and lack of comparative ratings.

I used the 1156-x18-T bulbs in the headlights.
The HP-WHP9 gets used in my back facing worklight. It's made to fit standard H-3 55 watt halogens. They're not as bright, but they use .065 amps instead of 4.6 amps like the halogens do. I might put a couple more of those in front.
Finally, the "cab" lights (T10-PCB-WHP9) are on a little printed circuit board. These are bright enough to light up the ground on either side of the tractor as well. I put one in each of the overhead lights.

For your odd camera power connector, I would bet that it takes a Size M Coaxial DC Power Plug. Why do I this this? I recently installed some new security cameras at work and that is what they took.
