"Manic-Mechanic" 1,194 #1 Posted December 3, 2022 Hello, I have a Snapper/Massey 1650 with a Cab. Missing a set of doors. Any idea who might have made this Cab? Also, is it easier just to leave them off, with respect to visibility? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 8,309 #4 Posted December 3, 2022 Good things are not cheap. Cheap things are not good...... Pick one - stick with it. (i was once behind schedule assembling a custom assembly machine station - caught a lecture from my supervisor - I stopped him mid sentance & told him "you want it right, or right now - pick one, I need to know"....He wandered off...) 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, that's very true. Having everything as it as engineered is something I strive for and at times make improvements... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of these LED bulbs have an electronic voltage converter circuit built in, and the quality of some is pretty bad. They can generate a lot of RF noise. Replace with whatever incandescent bulb fits, and I bet the radio works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually listen to and I-pod through it anyway so that isn't Interfered with, the Only time it Interferes is when I turn On The top cab Lights anyway which I don't turn the on very often Usually the side Cab LEDs and the Headlight LEDS are fine . I only turn On the Top when I clear the streets ends so the Highway Plows see m.e Were a Private rd so we Hire are roads done by a plow service and They can't be there constantly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
