LED's. Must get LED worklight.....
Ok Garandman. I finally got them done. Two square lights mounted on CMS magnets for the ROPS.
The magnets have like 100 lbs of force. Two of them stuck together involved getting a pry bar and sliding them sideways to pry them apart!
Then came that moment of no return. Drilling the 1/2" hole in the dash. Finally I sucked it up like a big boy and did it. That's it a simple rocker with an LED indicator when on.
Then I added another slim light on the same magnet base under the rear cross brace for the rear of the tractor pointing down for unhooking and backing up. This one isn't done I found out taking these pictures. I wired it into the spare plug under the left fender thinking it was powered by the light switch. It's not. It's powered by the key switch.
So I have to wire in a switch for that one. The key turns it off and on for now so no big deal.
And here's how they work. This is in a totally dark find the trailer hitch with your shin dark shop.
First is high beams only.
Then the ROPS lights.
The rear work light.
A bench shot of the work light with a magnet. I had used a rivet on this one but used small countersunk screws instead on the rest with loctite as the rivet didn't get tight enough for me. The magnet has the counter sink already in it. Screws/nuts came from hardware store.
Turned out well. The wires are covered with split loom. Soldered connections covered with heat shrink and 1/4" spade connectors for the switch and factory connector with ring terminals for the ground and positive connections. The lights came from Amazon 27 watts made by Signtek. The magnets from CMS. Both were found out about here on TBN. All of it was fairly cheap. I doubt I'm in it 50-60 bucks total. Less than 100 for sure all in everything.
