rjg854 10,711 #15 Posted November 24, 2018 I've got 2 of Jim's stacks. One is on an 8hp and the other on a 16hp, love the sound of both of them. Make sure you let him know what you want them for, it does make a difference. Now back to you regular station. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 62,974 #17 Posted November 24, 2018 Hmmmmmmm.... How about some lights and maybe a volt gauge? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacemakerJack 10,670 #18 Posted November 25, 2018 Eric—those K series singles and a Kemp made stack—awesome! Definitely need some good lights on a dedicated plow rig as often you end up moving snow in the dark. I’m a huge fan of the LED’s for their low draw and bright light output (I’m pretty sure that you were probably planning on that anyway) I also recommend a back up light because backing into stuff like the house, shed, car, etc—bad call! You pretty much lose your “cool factor” when you sideswipe honey’s daily driver I think it is a great idea to have a volt gauge to keep an eye on the charging system as well as an hour meter to keep up with maintenance and usage. This will be a fun machine to see in action no doubt! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The boxes in the pic have two 27w work lamps for the front and 2 pretty dull but usable rear lamps. Also have to add a red light to the rear and 360 degree visible amber flashing lights. I made some Headway today. I got all four lamps mounted to the Tractor and the switch is in the dashboard. More tomorrow...... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,129 #20 Posted November 25, 2018 Just keep in mind that those old S/Gs look big but in reality they only put out about 12 amps. That gives you 144 watts to play with or you will be in a losing position with your battery. Your ignition will pull about 3 amps (36 watts) You have 54 watts on your head lights Leaves you about 50 watts for all your other lighting 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The two lights in the back are very dim as previously stated and they really are only there as a corner marker for visibility and put a small amount of shine on the snow to the back. I think they use something like 3 watts each. I was pretty much planning on buying flashing LEDs for the Amber Lamps and the one solid red one. Knowing my limitations, that's cements that idea as what will happen. Very good info there. Much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,846 #24 Posted November 25, 2018 Used to plow in the dark with no lights on a 604 when I was a kid. Snowing like crazy off the big lake. Ah memories! 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 62,974 #25 Posted November 26, 2018 I've got all the wiring done and brand new harnesses completed from front to rear. Voltmeter gauge is installed and working. Trina was nice enough to swap the brackets for the plow from the Patriot horse to this tractor. Tomorrow afternoon I'll get the big heavy tires put on the 1267. What's NOT working is the charging system. As stated in the volt gauge thread... I've done a fair amount of cleaning and Diagnostics already. Got too late for today. I'll go back to it tomorrow after I get the plow and tires mounted so I can at least use the tractor. Several more inches of snow coming tomorrow night. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
