I'd be surprised if he doesn't have that light in stock. If not, he can order it for you. He deals in a couple other manufacturers as well as Truck-Lite. He's a good guy, I know him from back in my truck drivin days...... he'll ship to your door if'n you want him to.

4shorts Thanks for the light info, I will get them.
One thing you have to do and I know if anybody can do it you can, is make a dash panel above your factory dash find some shroud similar to my b3030 to house your monitor and gauges

That my friend is one nice looking setup you have there. Great workmanship. I thought about doing something like that until I purchased the reverse camera. It sits on top of the dash so to put it in an enclosure would make it even higher plus very noticable from the outside of the windshield. Under the tractors dash there's no room for shaving any space off.

By getting the gauge pods and attaching them on both sides of the camera bracket I'm only using up space that's already there. I've done a few speaker boxes for the local rice burners out of fiberglass so later on I may consider doing something in that direction and color match it to the interior of the tractor.

Love the cab marker lights you have. I was into a truck center a few weeks ago and they had a set of the latest type ones that on the new trucks which is the one wide one in the middle and one smaller one on each side. Believe me, I was tempted and may do that next.

If you want a close up of the top LED cab lights I can post them. If you can't find any in your area let me know and I'll get them on my end and send them to you. I don't want to see someone like yourself who likes to do these things right being stuck

Nice work there friend!

How do you keep all those LCD screens from freezing up there in the frozen northland?

I don't really know. I live in a warmer climate then most on the island where it don't go very far above freezing most of the winter. Last week it was cold though. It got down to - 26 degrees C and the tractor was out in the cold all day and the LCD worked great when I started it up.

Hey WaxMan here's a few other pics of some crazy stuff I've added to the tractor. I added some chrome in various places and I did the rear fenders with some black auto trim to take the plain edge off of it. I also added a row of sealed red LED lights to the door step. It's great in the dark and very visible from side on. Some might think it's all crazy but this tractor is just used for plowing snow and nothing else. It may never see a dirt road

All nice work 4shorts very clean work whatever you do on it. Slow down so I can keep up to you.
I have some improvements I'll share with you soon, when I'm done.

So what if it were to see dirt , I would do all that to my tractor and would not be afraid of dirt work, is the roof of your tractor painted , it's very shinny.

Thank you very much for the offer of getting the lights for me, I called my auto parts supplier and he is going to get them for me by Tuesday. I knew he carried Grote but I didn't know he had a Truck-lite connection.
FYI I own an operate a 6 bay Garage service center for the last 28 years you and I are kind-of in the same line of work "repair business".
I like getting ideas from your work keep them coming.
And thanks again.
