Quick connect jumper cables

[Skyco]

Yep those Anderson connectors are great, I've used them on several things including big ones for the winch on my truck. The winch is receiver mount so I can place it on either end of the truck. Ran a pair of 00 cables to the rear for it.
FYI the rubber plugs seal the front but the rear is still open and stuff can get in anyway unless you silicone up the back after assembly.

The burning question in my mind is how did BX24 get the hood/cowl off with the front guard still on:licking:

All you have to do is not pay attention when you have a log in the bucket and accidently drop it backwards onto the hood! The dealer quoted me somewhere around 200 for a new "lid". Since the tractor needed maintenance anyways, I took off the rest of the cowl to do that work. I really hate how much they block access to everything. Right now I am leaning towards making my own version of a new hood and cowl from sheet metal (with good access to things). Until I get there though, I thought it would be a good idea to put the front guard back on as I am running around "topless".

For those of you trying to figure out the size of the quick connects, you don't have to size them as they are rated. The listed rating is for continued amperage (ie battery chargers etc). They will handle short term spikes much higher than their rating (although bigger is good too!)

You can also get the quick connects from any marine dealer that sells powerwinches for boat trailers. See all the versions here:Trailer Parts Superstore

"topless"

Wowy, wow, wow, wow. That is one smoking hot tractor. Is she single?

Or is it a male. In that case I don't date males, as I''m a male myself.:laughing:

I'm looking for a woman.

Anyway back to the topic. That looks like a great idea. Now you got me wanting to mount some to my riding mower. That I have to sometimes jumpstart.

BX24,

This is off-topic, but what/why do you have mounted in your FEL bucket in the "topless" picture?

Thanks,
Matt.

My guess is he wants to avoid a repeat of the event that caused the demise of his hood?

Skyco, I'd like to run a set to the back of my 03 Dodge. What's the best way to hook up a heavy cable to the power source?

I used a disconnect on mine, didn't want that cable live all the time.

Also only used one cable, frame works as the ground.

Here's the disconnect I used.

I like that. I asume that's a removable key. But I mean what's the best connection to an actual power source on a newer truck? Straight of the + post or somewhere else? Also what type of connector for that?
