BX2360 Upgrades

Are you talking about something like this?

StabilWorks

Triple, the way I read the question, it is in reference to the telescoping end links- they extend out to hook up to the pins easier, and then ratchet back in when you back up.

OK, thanks, I didn't know that feature was available on the B Series.

Nice idea for the tie downs Roger.
I'm still hunting for a trailer.
I have some nice heavy tie down straps similar to yours already.
I've been wondering how i will hook them up.
I may have to copy a similsr style.
Looks great.

Thanks, but it was not my idea. There is a company that makes them. I have not used them yet.

I am now working in a set of work lights.

I have set of telescopic lower links that I used on my little Yanmar. The extra length allowed the arms to go lower and higher. However pushing the weight back that far blew out the o-ring in the 3 point lift cylinder. So if you were to try this be cautious on how much weight you are lifting.

Here is my thread on the repair: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/yanmar/202252-169d-3-point-hitch-weak-8.html

One thing I always did not like about the bx was the hood rattled when you start or shut the tractor off. It was annoying and embarrassing. I got a set of furniture bumpers at Lowes. Here are some pictures of where I put them. The hood does not rattle anymore.

Thank you, thank you, 94Bullitt. That was simply the cheapest, quickest, easiest, and one of the most satisfying modifications I've made to my BX25. I had a couple of rubber feet left over from an electronics project that were .25" thick x.75"x.75". I put them where you did and the hood rattle is GONE!

No problem, I am glad you liked it.

I have been working on some lighting upgrades. I made 2 brackets for work lights. I had 2 lights laying around from the Bobcat that I used. I put a switch in the light itself. Here is the link to thread were I did that. I wired the lights up so that they can only be turned on with the headlights. I took the factory connector a part for the tail light and added the wires for the worklights. I ordered a 3rd light from Northern Tool but it had 3 LEDs out so I sent it back and I am still waiting for them to send me a replacement. Once I get it I will get some better pictures and a night time shot. I welded the bolts to the clamp for a clean install and I used some sticky foam to insulate it so it won't scratch the ROPS.

 

[94BULLITT]

Well I got the 3rd light from Northern Tool today and it worked!

On the left side bracket I added a 12v power port because I use a strobe light when I mow along the road. The power power under the seat does not work that well to run the wire to the top of the ROPS.

I also added a LED strip light to the top of the ROPS. When you have the QH and a implement on you can't see the tail lights that well.

Here is a picture from the back with the 2 foward facing lights on. I need to play around with the adjustment. It was too cold to night to mess with it much. Once I get them adjusted I will take some more pictures with a actual camera not my tablet. The lights are flood lights they throw a really wide beam.

WOW! You certainly see *THAT* cyclops light! Excellent addition!

 

[94BULLITT]

Excellent addition!

Thank you.

What did you use for the strip light on the ROPS?

 

[94BULLITT]

What did you use for the strip light on the ROPS?

I used this. I got the 120cm long one. It draws 175mA

Nice!! how did you attach it??

 

[94BULLITT]

Nice!! how did you attach it??

I used 3M doubled sided tape like you attach car emblems and moldings.
