My New Lights

[paccorti]

Finally I got this roll of film developed! Here are my new lights. First the unassembled package. Note the tiltmeter in the center (all part of the xmas upgrades). The two lights on the upper right are Hella Blue Ions. They might be great lights but they are worthless for tractors (they have a narrow broad fog light beam). I replaced them with Blazer lights similar to the one large grilled light in center. The main light mount is a steel "C" channel 3' long by 3/4" high by 1.5" wide (available at Home Depot). If you look closely, you'll see the u-bolts that I bent myself.

Opps, file upload timeout. Try again.

... much better, but I had no idea Lord and Taylor sold tractor accessories /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Here is the finished installation. Switches are on the dash. Installation did not require any drilling or modification to the tractor (not even a cut wire). I attached to the electrical system using fuses and wires to the battery.

If you look closely you'll see the chainsaw box. An Echo 16". Here is the night-time view.

Very cool looking /w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif How high is your garage/barn door? Or is it a folding ROPS? I'd thought about lights on top like that but would make some funny marks on the garage when I tried to pull in.

Nice work /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

The ROPS folds. With the ROPS up I'm pushing 100"! I don't know how I'll ever get a canopy on this sucka...

Looks like you got some good candle light power.
Have you consider some sort of guard to protect your lights from objects,for low limbs cost $$$...ouch.
