TC33D Auxiliary Lighting

[Spencer]

Here are a few pics of my two new auxilary lights that I mounted on my TC33D. I tapped into the existing wiring harness that is specifically for rear work lights. I used brackets right from NH that are specifically made for these auxilary lights. You just unbolt the rear flasher lights and place the bracket between the rear flasher bracket and the ROPS. The brackets were about 16 bucks a piece from my dealer. The lights are from J.W. Speaker Corporation and sold as Speaker agri-brite. They both are 4" x 6", 12 Volt, 4 Amp halogen flood lights. They have a watertight switch built right into them. They were 26 bucks a piece from my dealer. The wiring harness that NH provides is on a 15 amp fuse. I didn't blow that fuse, but the first time I went to start up the tractor after the installation I forgot to turn off all my lights. I had on both auxilary lights, the front headlights, and the rear tail lights. After the glow plugs turned off I went to turn the switch further to engage the starter and thats when my main 30 amp fuse blew. I now have some spares in the toolbox on the tractor. I will always make sure all lights are off when starting the tractor from now on.

First picture is a full view showing both lights.

Does the light swing to the right so you can still fold the ROPS?

 

[Spencer]

Yes it will swivel to the side if you leave the mounting nut loose enough but it will still get hit by the rops if you fold it. I read on an earlier post about someone with the same situation. Their solution was to put the pin back in the upper section of the rops as I have shown in this attached image.

Nice lighting setup for night time use.
The driveway looks like it would be fun to plow under any amount of snow /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif and you have 3 if not 4 times more snow than I. /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif

Thanks Thomas,
During the week nightime is the only time I can use the tractor. I pretty much have the winters off but my wife works days so I stay home and take care of our beautiful 16 month old girl. We didn't have any snow on the ground here for weeks until last friday night. It is still snowing now, I think we have 10 or 12 inches now.
