Light guard 2310

[tx2310]

I just put on light guards on my 2310. The guard was attached to the same bracket that hold the lights so no holes where added. We will see how they work this summer when we start mowing around the farm.

Those look nice. Did you make them or buy the guards?

First day I had my tractor I was backing up near the garage being careful not to snap the light off the ROP. I should of looked higher cause the roof of the tractor snapped the light off the garage. Are those store bought or home fabbed?

I made them.

Doug,

Those floods -- how did you wire them? That is, how do you turn them on and off? I'm guessing they're not a dealer upgrade.

Thanks!

The tractor has a ign. on, 20 amp fused, red with black stripe lead with a female bullet connector at the back center of the tractor. The wire harness under the instrument panel carries the red/black stripe wire. The instrument panel has a hole under the overlay for a switch above the flasher switch. A sharp knife easily cuts the overlay for the switch. The water resistant switch came from TSC but easily available elsewhere. I wired in the switch and ran wire from the female bullet connector up alongside the wiring for the flashing lights. Covered the wiring where it comes out of the fender and into the ROPS with shrink tubing. Attached the lights to the bracket that hold the yellow lights. So there are no holes drilled. It is a simple setup and it will light up the night. The lights are 55 w Hella Optilux 800ff ($14.00 ea. on line) and come with a base that allow the lights be moved in any direction with out tools.

I just purchased a 2310 and withing the first week I knocked one of the lights off, I really need those guards. They look great.

I knocked my right side light off the first time I mowed with mine. Almost a year later still not fixed.

Thanks for the prompt (and wonderfully detailed) response, Doug. Much appreciated!
