pimped my tractor

[MrJimi]

Did you use LED's or neons for the red color? If LED's try some neons that can be bought at any autoparts stores or online for cheap money and any color

I am thinking they would last me about ten minutes before I broke them out.

My next tractor mod is some guarding up front to protect thet battery box, the steering cylinder, the axle pivor, and yes those lights. I won't be doing anything too rough with the tractor until late spring / early summer when the woods here starts to dry out. by then the guard should be ready.

I dont know if i told you guys this one already but I'll share again if i did .

Theres a 19 year old kid lives near me, he contracts himself out every year to the local farmers with his tractor. I plan to take a photograph of his rig during the ploughing this coming season. This guy must have at least 30-40 working lights on his tractor, all around the cab, on the mirrors, front n rear fenders, and even underneath. Now, this is like a spaceship has landed when you see this rig tilling into the wee hours of spring/summer, a ball of white light with a tractor in the middle of it. Your photograph kind of reminded me of his under tractor lighting mboulais, handy I guess if you want to see underneath your tractor but prone to damage big time....
I like the effect of yours mboulais, looks... unusual.

They are conventional red tail lights for a trailer, bought them at Walmart. I was going to hunt down red LED's but got impatient to start.

I will look for those neons when I get more to light up under the operators platform.


I was wondering if a person would be able to find yellow, If it was a deere, it would need yellow lights.

I wonder what kind of load he is putting on his battery and alternator with that many lights. Mine is strictly for looks.

The yellow LED's are available. I have some stashed for a set of lights for my old dump trailer. They came from a wrecked 53' trailer that somebody dropped off a railcar. Just look for the side mounted turn signal lights that they put at the halfway point to allow people in the next lane to take notice that a rig is headed their way.
Most any trailer supply place should have them.

Just dim the red underglow down a bit, mount some pallet forks and hire yourself out to move honeybees at night. Bee gear optional.

Now you need one of those 20,000 Watt sub woofers! No trunk so you'll have to put it in the toolbox.

Should be good for plowing fields and stuff cause the low frequency vibrations will break up clods of dirt!

No, it really wouldn't...



Now you need some chrome rims with the skinny little rubber-band tires on it. Maybe they can be spinner rims...

Puttin' lights like that on a Mahindra is kinda like polishin' a turd, if you ask me!(even if you don't)
