Last year t took three days

to get the set collar off this

shaft. Not going thru that again.

Then I remembered how the shoot blocked

my headlights

so.........

I like the quick disconnect feature but wonder how well the bulbs will hold up being vibrated voilently .

I like the light set up! Hey if thse light bulb's don't last look for some low cost led lights. I doubt they'd be affected by the vibration. Let us know!

Wow. Thats a really neat set-up. Can you tell me how you rigged up those lights? I have been wanting to do something simular for the back of the tractor but never thought about the snowblower chute blocking the headlight.. So I Might have to do lights on the frong likw you did. Can you show me what you did for wiring and where did you find those lights?

Also, nice older horse you got there. It really looks a lot like my 68 raider. :thumbs:

A "U" shaped bracket patterned after the HL-5 part could also be fabbed & installed so that the current headlights on the tractor could be moved to shine on either side of the chute.

I would also like to see how long the thrower-mounted bulbs will last. If the vibration wouldn't blow them out, I'd probably have them knocked off in a drift. :thumbs:

Interesting ideas! I like that disconnect, wish I had thought of it with the Vermonster!

Your side flanges should help those lights keep on the blower. Ask the Duke about LED ones, if they would/might last longer.

Still, some ingenious ideas, well done! :thumbs:

I'm not to worried about the lamps

buzzin, I had the same type on the

fender for 4 years with the same bulb

and the head lamps....well they shake

pretty good and same amount of time

with out a problem.

I think more of them getting sucked into the auger!

Some may rember that this is a combo unit.

Gotta love the additional lights during snow removal duties. Been thinking about adding some additional lighting to the top of my snow cab, but not too sure about where to splice into the factory harness. Maybe you're running directly off the battery? Looks good but how'd you do that? :)

Ya it trims nails very short.

Wow, that the same set-up I want to do for my tractor. Snowblower, lights, back box with gas can. LOL. I have everything all done but the lights.. LOL. Nice..
