LED Work Lights

[Thumper & Buttercup]

Hey Guys,

Sorry we've not been around looking much, we had
a major problem with the house about May 6th and
we are just finishing fixing everything.

TeamNH, I'll get a couple photos but the switches
I mounted on each side of the controls mounted on
the fenders. There is just enough room to mount a
waterproof switch there. I put one switch for the upper
lights and one for the lower lights.

I'll get a test set up in a week or so I'll show the lights
from the T2220 and then I'll show the lights from
the cab lights on our DX60.

Thanks alot!

Here's the photos of the switches, there is just enough room to install them in this position. After the wires were attached and we had to bend the lugs a little then we water proofed the switch by sealing it with liquid electrical tape. We put the waterproof boots on the top of the switches to finish the job.

I wanted to install the switches where they were within reach without searching for them. Hope this helps.

Did you wire them straight to the tractor?
I'm apprehensive about blowing mine.

On our T2220 there are two plugs that are switch controlled
for factory work lights. We wired them straight, work fine.

Thanks!

Thanks alot! yes that will help greatly. I think try for the same spot. I would like to put them together thou, and maybe order the switch that is on the dash for the hazard lights. you know the black rocker with light. I want to see what i can find like that.

Thanks again!

I'll tell you now if your tractor is like mine you don't have room for a rocker switch, I just got these in. There is a inner fender that you've got to sandwich the switch between.

I had never heard of liquid electrical tape. May I ask where you find it?

I've bought some at commercial truck parts places....... but I do believe I've seen it at regular auto parts stores also. I've never looked for it at the big box stores, but its possible they may sell it also. Comes in a small can with a brush attached to the underside of the lid. I've had decent luck with it. I'm guessing the last time I bought some it was maybe $4 / can?

Where did you find the square ubolts you used for mounting? Ive checked around and havent been able to locate any.

 

[Thumper & Buttercup]

Sorry Guys have not been checking in much.

The U-Bolts I got at a Menard's, I've seen them
in a few hardware stores. I also got my liquid
electric tape at Menard's.

the light work looks great but teh only thing is that the led work light dont make heat so if you make some snow removal the snow stick to the lens of the light so you finishto work in the dark thats what happens to me so i change them back to hallogen 50 w on my smalest tractor


over all great job

We'll for snow work I've got the DX60 with a heated cab and snowblower and loader. It has the factor cab work lights so I'm good. When I use the T2220 it comes out of the shop gets to work and then gets put away, not out there long enough to cause a problem on the lights.
