Great looking rig, I have always liked the Blue/white color scheme. And that cab looks inviting on a cold winter day.:thumbsup:

Congrats, nice looking tractor! How much better is the snow box compared to the bucket? What makes it better?

I've used pusher blades for many years but on larger equipment. They are mainly used for moving lots of snow quickly say in a parking lot using mostly straight forward plowing. When you get to the end you just lift the arms while continuing fwd. and the snow falls off onto the pile. Usually you don't have use the dump / curl function. The downfall is you need lots of traction for pushing and steering.

That's a really nice machine. Congrats. I think an LS will be my next tractor.

Mangus,
Sent you a PM

I contacted LS about the plug in for the strobe, and you have to buy the whole kit, $200+, so i bought a stobe bar on ebay for $53- it works nice. I had to take a couple of the blank switch plates and mount the controls to the strobe in them. that wasn't too hard but it did take a little engineering. the wiring is in the tractor already. BTW nice tractor.

Which strobe did you buy? And what are the brackets and plugs are for on the back of the cab both left and right sides?
I also see your mirrors are like mine were. They seem to be tipped down. Support bar not level. That bugged me so I fixed mine this morning by loosening the bolts then removed the lower bolt and put a washer spacer between the mirror and mount plates. Now the top support bars are level.

that is what the brackets and plugs are for on the back. I just thought the price was really high for the LS strobes and I couldn't get any info on them. the one I bought was -http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&vxp=mtr&item=291073356684- and it worked out ok, I just had to add my own wiring which was not that tough. I also had to add a small bracket from each of the rear flood lights to mount my light bar. I'm not near the tractor until tomorrow but I'll take a few close ups of what i did. I am going to add the LED floodlights also but the wife won't let me spend anymore money for a while.

George2615. What size/brand is the snow box? lt190b

Could not find a tag or brand on the quick attach pusher blade. Just the weight of 650 lb.
It is 7'6" long. 28" high. sides are 30" front to back.

Tractor looks great. :thumbsup: Try letting some air out of the tires, they look a little over inflated to me. Full width of tread should be touching the ground.

After going through the tractor this AM I did find the rears were over inflated to 50 Psi. Lowered them down to the sidewall recommendation of 20 Psi. Front were OK as was everything else I checked.
