You're ahead of me on that one and didn't make the same mistake I did several years ago. Good for you!

I wouldn't have thought to buy the LED version if there wasn't a giant banner on the regular one saying "THIS WON"T WORK WITH LED BULBS" with a link to the LED version.
Got the flasher working! Turns out I had a bad ground on the chassis, so even when hooked up, it only partially worked. It does have an annoying click, hopefully I wont' hear it when the tractor is running, or I might just replace it with something else.
Got the speakers mounted to the top panels along with the rear camera, and working on wiring in that switch pod for all the lighting and heater. I ended up being short one switch, so I had to put the rear red running lights on with the yellow flashing lights. I don't hate the idea, but I would have liked them separate. I may add a switch for that later.

Busy day today. Wrapped up the electrical minus the head unit. Have 4 posts waiting for jb weld to dry so I can attach the head unit holder. Flood lights, flashers, backup camera heater fan, voltage meter, usb ports, phone mount are all in place. Wires are mostly cleaned up, still working on that.
Got the snowblower sanded down and primed, and another coat of paint on the body panels.
Here's a quick walk-around video:

Very nice project.
What a headache today has been. Working out the electronics for remote start.
The 2 channel is for starter and glow plugs. Press and hold A for 15 seconds to prime glow plugs, then press and hold B until it starts. Those relays are set up to press and release, so I hold down and it's on, soon as I release it turns off.
The single channel is for the ACC position of the key. Press and toggles it on. That way I can not only start the charging system, but also the heater.
I know, there's a million things that can go wrong, but I feel like this is one of those things that common sense goes a long way. Park in neutral, check your fluids, make sure things are in properly running condition.

Bought my chute control switch:
Monolever Joystick Switch PA14 SPST 4 N O No 4 Position Momentary Control TH295 | eBay
Chutes left/right will be controlled by a power window motor, up/down will be by linear actuator, and that little joystick will do it all. Rated at 60a it should be more than capable of handling the motors.
