Kelly 1,030 #52 Posted September 8, 2008 You know before I painted it, I stuffed another toolbox right up to the back of the one on it, I should have snaped a pic, it didn't look to bad had a mini truck look AKA T bucket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poodle 0 #54 Posted September 27, 2008 Ok frist off this is a very cool peace of machinery but a have a question and favor I have a 701 I'm restoing to original but I want to add lights and i have to know how and were i get a set up like those preferably the exat same their exatly what i whant I'm an electricain and gear haed so pipe bending and wireing is no problem I hate to be a copy cat but it's a great setup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,030 #55 Posted September 27, 2008 Poodle, those lights are for a bicycle, they are 6V so when I wire them I will have to drop the voltage or find 12V bulbs to fit, the tubing was a pain to find the right size, to keep it proportioned right, I wanted 1/2-9/16 od, and they don't make conduit that size driving home from work one day, I thought of ridgid Hyd. lines so I stopped at a local farm tractor dealer and got some,Free to boot, to bend it I filled it with sand so not to crush it and bent it using a block of wood with a 3/4 hole in it, slowly bent it till I got the curve I wanted,cut it to size, them had to make a mate Then I welded a 3/8 nut to the lower end, and used the holes already in the frame to mount them, on the top of the tube I welded a 3/8 nut on it's side to use as a pivot and mount for the light it's self, I got the lights off Ebay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parallel wiring will double the load but keep the voltage the same, series wiring will keep the load the same but cut the voltage in half. The only down side to wiring them in series is that if one bulb burns out the other will quit working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
