Looking for lights for my tractor

[Bird]

Turfman, I had the dealer install a cigarette lighter on the dash, left of the steering wheel, when I bought my B2710. They ran a heavy wire with an inline fuse from the starter for the cigarette lighter. But for rear work lights, you already have a hot wire under the seat, fuse in the fuse box. You just need to attach to that wire, run to a switch, and then to the light (unless you buy one of the lights with a built-in switch). You shouldn't have too much trouble finding that wire under the seat; it has a connector on it and mine was taped to the wires going to the taillights.

I think they have probably improved since I bought mine in the early 80's. It is a percolator type and I think they have drip types now.

Bird, Thanks for the information.

Forgot to mention that the existing wire for optional work lights is wired through the ignition switch; only "hot" when the key is turned on.

I looked at Wal mart last night,while the wife and 4 kids were loading up the carts for back to school,I found the lights and I very discreetly slipped them in with the schools supplies.Well needless to say....the wife did not say a word....about my new toys.Well she shouldn't since I am buying anyway/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif2 trips to Walmart $1100 plus,not to mention the other places she took me,plus $2500 for a Dell for my son.I cant complain,my son has saved me some big bucks,he got a scholarship,to a private college here in WV,so it has been an expensive week.But thats life........and I am happy with mine../w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

When i ran the cables to run power for my fender mounted radio, I also added a cig. lighter receptical to power 12 v things. Have used it to run air compressor to pump up the riding lawnmower tires, etc. I also made a jumper cord that is cig on one end, and battery clamps on the other. Makes it easy to jump of fthat same riding lawnmower when I forget to turn the lights of on it..whoopsie! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

"What kind of tractor do you have that comes with a cigarette lighter?"

Sounds like you're doin' a real good job with the family. Congratulations on that scholorship.

Thanks for the information. It will make it easier when I attach the light tomorrow.
