BX23 (XX?) Light Upgrade

[tshep]

OK - My turn/hazard flasher failed.
(I resoldered all the back side stuff - remained failed.)
As you know, it's $100 now.
So, researched VA code, wiring diagram, my use - and decided 'turn signals' were useless on a daylight-travel only tractor.
I also concluded, what are they called, twinker lights, in US market were only there for parts sales.

So,
Twinkers off and into spares, wires taped off nicely.
EF32SS-R attached in place of older 'flasher.
Amazon.com: CEC Industries EF32SS-R Flasher: Automotive
1 thin male spade into connector at Hazard, 1 thicker female spade at flasher (polarity matters, doesn't hurt it).
2 thin male spades into connector at Left and Right, tee-ed to 1 thicker female spade at flasher.
Re-attached hanger bracket, rubber sleeve.

Replaced 1076 style in larger round lights with brighter LEDS.
Amazon messed up the link, but 1076/BA15D search covers it (mine were Jomitop).

I do believe the single lamps now makes more light than both did before, and the flasher works fine with only 2 wires and a minimal load.

$25, should be better for longer!

Yup. Out here in CA. we can get away with just the SMV sign, going around the neighborhood (which, I will have to do coming from the backyard to the front, I'll have about a 1/4 mile of street to run on, when I do any work in front) like the Amish do when they travel public roads.

To be honest, I've never had occasion to use the turn-indicators on my 4105... that's because, if I'm on a public road, I'll have my 4-way flashers going + an amber 'whoop-whoop' going on top of the ROPS (SMV is also present).

I'm simply observant of traffic/surroundings and use hand signals if/as required.
