RussMan With each light, one rubber gasket and a wiring pig tail to plug into the light cost me around $30each so there shouldn't be much of a differance where your too.

Philscbx Cool handle. Do you ride a CBX? They are NICE bikes

My daily rider is a GL1800 Wing but I haven't seen a bike I didn't like. Enjoyed reading your story. I'm not a hunter either but do enjoy snapping pictures of things in the wilderness. I also like the Miller gear. Although my main business is in automotive I do a good bit of machining and fabrickating. You can't go wrong with that new Mig you got there. Very nice machine.

I got the Miller 702 plazma. Miller Dynasty DX200 with the "Crazy Cart" I designed and built for it. Got the Millermatic 251 with aluminum spool gun and the mobile Miller Trail Blazer 302 with custom trailer I designed and built. Good thing I don't weld for a living

Thanks for your reply and your kind words. Enjoyed it!

Here is a link to an LED work light that pulls only .45 amps. But they are pricey ($70) (LED Work Light, LED Flood Light - Led white lights led backup lights led dome lights led interior lights white led lights 2 inch round led lights 4 inch round led lights led work lights 6 inch oval led lights) I am still looking for the one in the $30-35 range. does anyone have a link to that light?

Your not going to find a quality LED worklight for $35. Clear led are much more money than the coloured led in signal lights. On top of that LED worklights are still relatively new. Typical LED worklights by a major manufacturer are still in the $100 area, unfortunately. I wouldnt buy the one you linked to. Its only 350 Lumens. http://www.vehiclelight.com/970988.html has 2 times the lumens for not much more money. That being said , id still look to buy from a main (north american) manufacturer, like Grote or Trucklight rather than the company you linked to.

Thanks Jason. I thought 4Shorts mentioned buying the light for LED light for $30 (I believe in #31) but perhaps I misunderstood Mr. 4Shorts.

Russ, I believe her was referring to the Grote strobes he used on his machine. In the next little while i think youll see white LEDs getting down to a more affordable price.

Theres a good thread on TBN regarding LED worklights here http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/customization/134268-led-headlights.html

The LED lights I was refering to was the ones in the video that I made the box's for and mounted on the snow blower. That's why the video was made. I just wanted to show how I did it just in case there were other tractor owners out there that may have wanted to do the same as I did.

The only other LED's on my tractor are the top of the cab signal lights. I removed the factory ones and put LED's in there place. The top emergency light is a strobe light and the custom built the light bar for it. Hope this clears things up for you.

You can look to see how Christmas lights with LED's went up compared to the standard bulb.

I still don't think that tractor gets used as clean as it is.

It just rolled up to the 50 hour mark and I did the complete full service. The Kubota service manual stated you only need to replace the Trans filter, Hyd. filter motor oil and filter but I changed out all the Hyd. fluid and front def. oils as well. It's only used for snow clearing and only plows clean snow

Man isn't that the truth. In the spring the snow would be black and looked awful. I don't think it's that bad there now seeing they changed over to a new system. I remember operating a 988 Cat loader over in the pellet stock pile one day when a seagull flue into all the dust and when it came out the other side It looked like a crow

Oh the memories! Hey Happy New Year DraftHorse
