Lights on my 2305

[bradal]

Hello All,

Just finished the installation of lights on my JD 2305. I am attaching pics of the lights front(2) and rear (1) and a picture of the regular front lights and the added ones. I don't have pictures of the toggle switch on the dash as it was dark out. I ran an inline fuse from battery to switch which is rated for 15 amps, then back to all three lights.

That's some nice lighting! Get some daytime pics so we can see the mounting and switches.

The lights on my 4300,two forward and one rear.pictures not the greatest!

Well, I have been thinking this morning....I want to turn the one light forwards so I have three facing forwards, and mount a new rear facing. The existing problem is that the lights I installed are more of a spot with some scatter. This works great on the front, but doesn't work so well on the back.

I really don't want to have the auxillary lighting connected to the factory switch for the headlights. The reason is because of loader use. If I have to have the front factory headlights on in order to get the rear on, then this lights reflects off the loader. I think I will put the rear on the same circuit as the lights already added.

I am getting close to the 20amp max on the alternator

I will add pictures when complete tonight..........hopefully.

Well I decided to keep the current set-up, considering the load on the alternator. So here are some pics of the wiring and a current reading, also threw in a couple shot of the little shed I put up until I can build my garage

Nice job! What are your impressions on the shed? I have been looking at some similar to this.

 

[bradal]

Well as far as the shed goes it suits what I am looking for. Temporary storage for one maybe two years. It is built fairly well, and not bad to put up. I wouldn't consider it a long term solution, but a $300 building can be sacrificed for my $25,000 in equipment and toys.

I am looking to get the 35 amp alternator and adding some more lights.
