What have you done with/to your GC Series 2300, 2400, 1700 Tractor TODAY

Dave,

Where and how did you tie your LED light bar and smaller auxiliary LED lights into the electrical system? Did you find a reasonably accessible place that is switched? Or direct to the battery? Also, where did you put the switch(es)? I’m struggling with all of the above. Thank you.

I hooked straight to battery on both 10A circuits. I mounted the 2 switches on left side knee panel, than ran the 14g marine wire runs back alongside of frame and up to the roll bar.

Did you put a fuse in somewhere for the lights or use one in the fuse box?

separate 10A fuse and holder for each of the 2 runs.

Thanks, that is what I have been thinking also.

pretty simple setup, if I have to pull panel off I pull fuses then unscrew switches.

So, after 24 hours of rain (2+ inches) and temps rising to 58F (!!) we no longer have any snow except for a few small piles where I'd moved/blown it before... but I did get to use the tractor!

Wife left, then returned a few minutes later and said she couldn't get out. Used the blower frame to push an old, large, dead tree that had fallen across the driveway off into the bushes.... Glad the little red beast was here; no way could I have moved that otherwise.

No pics too dangerous.

3.11 inches of rain with high winds.
Been wo power since 0915 Monday morning and looks like will be Wednesday before back on. Glad I got generator

Dave, it sounds like you are prepared and a good neighbor. Winter hasn’t really arrived yet here, just a total of about 0.3 inches of drizzly rain. But it’s coming! I’ve been busy installing a “Cover My Tractor” brand cab and rigging up a windshield wiper and electric chute control for the front mount snowblower.

Did find a valid registration plate in debris.
Called sheriff office and a deputy picked it up to deliver to registered owner.
