1966 JD 1010 crawler / loader - lights - electrical

Post by Jim DiDomenico » Sat Sep 01, 2012 7:00 pm

Hi,

In getting ready for winter, I need to get some lights working on my crawler. The old lights are there but the wires are gone, I ran a new line to the lights in the grill from the switch - the generator light stayed on (makes me think there was some kind of polrization) and no lights. Or maybe the switch is bad... In reviewing the manual, it shows the hot wire going from the switch out to the lights and ground is directly to the chassis.

Second question is even with the existing lights working it doesn't seem like they will be bright enough (I will be moving snow at night from time to time). Has anyone installed other lights? Where could I mount them? Perhaps if I were construct a cab... Any ideas or comments would be welcome.

Changing out the existing lights to halogen is a huge jump in brightness. If you want even more, I have HID llights available now as well.
