MF 1754 Pushing Snow

Kent C · Nov 24, 2018

Good morning all,

I purchased a MF1754 this summer to round bale 40 acres for our hobby horse farm and plow a commercial parking lot this winter (dealership where I work). We live in upstate NY and receive quite a lot of snow. My wife and I share plow duties and she loves the control of the Hydro drive tractor with the 7' snow pusher blade. I love having a roof over my head and heat! I am asking for advice on the best way to mount a flashing warning LED light. For instance, can I drill into the roof, is there a MF switch and switch location subbed out, and are there any bad lessons learned from previous installs?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Many tractors have a pipe mounted strobe lamp on the cab;
similar to this,

I don't know about your Massey but my Branson has a spare wire pair by the mirror mount.

Thanks Lou, I think I get it, just wire it to the work or tail lamps and use the existing circuit. Couple more cups of coffee and I would have thought of that myself

On a metal roof I like the idea of simply using a good magnet.
Another advantage is if U hit a limb, or whatever, the strobe simply dangles and generally saves U buying a lens.
Any holes I have ever drilled always end up leaking no matter what I used to seal them off.
