Dead 1250 Cub cadet is alive.

Finished up the get me running stage last evening . Changes made to it were new ing. switch a total up grade to the lighting that include new L E D lights ft. and back , L E D strobe flashers ft . and back , L E D rear work lights , new hydo unit fan and new motor mounts that i made . Took a bit of R & D several staff meetings and two porto type designs and they work vary well and for a cost of 22 bucks . And some fine tuning of the hydo control to get it to center in neutral ,did away with the rear wheel bolts and it now had studs and wheel nuts , so much easier to remove and replace the back tires and wheels . and the steering box rebuild all new tie rod ends . Used the light switch from a 706 up for a three possession switch for dim with flashers and red rear then bright with flashers and red tail then last click ya have bright with out flashers and your rear work lights . Yea maybe a little over the top . Now still thinking on a back up beeper Around a 150 DB. one

Sound good.

Backup beeper? I hope you live in the middle of a 150 acre farm. Otherwise you are going to annoy all your neighbors. They are probably just tolerating your Cub Cadet as it is.

Annoy the neighbors HUMMMM like they don't ANNOY me with there RAP music . Or the neighbor kid that mows his yard with a fifth between his legs and mowes into the night well after dark or seams to always start around supper time while i am tryen to make supper on the grill blowing grass and dust everywhere. Annoy nah just pay back. and besides i think 80W LED headlights will BRIGHTEN there day . And the back alarm should comply to OSHA standards for SAFETY .

I like your way of thinking!

Original lighting is useless. I mounted two led flood lights on a pole. Shining down from overhead, one forward one backward. Virtue daytime.

How do the LED lights stand up to vibration? I have two 1450s and no working headlights as they are old school and the filaments are broke in all 4 headlights.

So far so good. Though my opposed twin doesn't have much vibration.

I'll let ya know . For now with extended sunlight the only time i will use the lights is when i am buy the road . The only time i more then likely will use the lights is for snow removal IF and when we have extremely heavy snow . I think i know how much it can handle ., Like the one year the weather GUESSERS were calling of 6-8 , At around 7 Pm my at the time Malamute told me he needed to go out so him being a good dog and not need tied i let him out and used the BROOM to sweep about 3-4 inches off the back steps , around 10 he WOOOOFED me and again let him out in the back yard and swept and additional 3-4 off the steps , Around 12:30 he woffed me again and again we swept 3-4 off the steps and we all went to bed . We were woke up by the sound of and engine running around 8 in the morning on a Sunday , i get up and look out the window and i see the neighbor across the street with is NEW 30 inch 11 Hp Craftsman snow blower , i can only see his upper chest and about three inches of the shut of the snow blower , We now had 28-30 inches of the white stuff , Dang my ST 724 Ariens ain't ah going to handle this . This is going to need some pony power so i called my buddy to bring in the New Holland L X 665 Skid steer . . He said ok i called him five hours later and him and his boy had just dug there way to the barn and were working on getting the barn doors open BUY hand , they had four and five foot drifts between the house and barn . I had just got off the phone with him when the neighbor across the street started up my drive with his craftsman and in a hour we were dug out while my buddy was still tryen to dig out his lane to make it to the main road. . So IF we get hammered like this i will have to plow with the storm and NOT wait for it to let up . So then the lights will be needed , I am not a total bone head and want to mow grass after dark. But i will move snow when needed after dark. It's a cub cadet Not my 806.
