Repaint?

[Chaplaintoo]

Their is a product available at most autobody supply places called, "Bulldog Adhesion Promotor" Use it as per the instuctions. It is used to "promote" paint adhesion to plastics.

I appreciate the other product mention. I think the Plastic Adhesion Promoter I got was the right one.... I just don't think I either applied it right or I didn't apply the orange paint right. Regardless it's looking like new now.... Better than new!

Give it a name and a badge!







The actual T2080 stickers are $17.80 a pop! Not in a hurry to get those. Meanwhile I've also added some new labels for the controls. I'll add those pictures later.

Next on my list.... is to change the filter and transmission fluid. Not sure when/if that's ever been changed.

Placed some labels as well for the dash, brake, and PTO.



You can see that next to the Reverse Implement Warning light this label wasn't cooperating so I took it off completely and gonna get another.





Got some shots of the tractor all put together

That's the light beacon you were asking about, it has 4 modes of flash. It is magnetic mount and runs on 2 D batteries. I had to make a bracket to hold it as there wasn't enough room behind the seat to hold it.
This is the bracket.

Now here's the video of tail light system.

I really appreciate that! The more I do to it the more I'm in love If you know what I mean!?

I really like the light setups too! I can't beleive that strobe is a 2 D battery model. I thought surely it was wired. That really makes me want to get one of those and create a bracket like you. I could do without the top lights that are bright for maybe backup light or reverse lighting. I would however like the running brake lights so to speak.

Thanks for taking your time to create those videos! I really appreciate seeing the funtionality of everything.

What does it require to swap the original lights switch with a 2-way rocker switch?

It happened fast but I think that horn you showed at the end of the video is cool! I'm guessing it's a universal horn or something like that. Interesting way of activating it with the foot? I like that too! Especially since nothing is there on the left side. Do you ever use it?

You've inspired me and given me some homework to do

Don't use the horn a lot but it's handy to get someone's attention my voice isn't very loud and the engine is.

If you don't need back up lights then just hook Taillights into headlights, no need to change switch.

These lights look like they come in a package of two but I only got one so I had to re-order.
The only reason I have the rotator light because I'm out there in the dark blowing snow close to the road.

Nice.... Those are really inexpensive! For the money I'm definitely gonna pick up those rear lights. I didn't even think about just wiring them to the headlights currently. I'm not worried since their LED's about wiring them in and overloading anything. That will save me from having to change the switch. I tell you what I have seen before that looks pretty cool!!!! If you've ever seen where people have mounted like white or amber lights on their tractor. Not steady but the flashing/wig-wag kind. Talk about an attention getter! I do remember those, like yourself, did it for safety when working close to the road. I'll get those lights ordered soon. Might surprise you with some flashing LED's

Some kind of taillight should be stock on every machine by law.

Been sometime since I've heard from you.... How are things going? If you're like me, you've been busy mowing the grass.

I don't know about you, but my grass is right back to where I started in about 4 days time. I'm not sure how I feel about the mulching blades. I'm personally a fan of better discharge. Particularly the st. augustine grass that grows in Texas and the speed at which it grows. I like to be able to run over it fast and get the job done. The only time I've been using the mulch feature is in the front yard.

Do you mulch? I don't have any trees in my yard to have to worry about mulching leaves in the fall or winter. A pine next door along with some oaks in their back yard. My other neighbor has a pecan tree in the front. Otherwise there isn't much to speak of.

Just wanted to drop by and say hello..... I haven't gotten to any of the add-ons like you. I seriously plan on it. I just haven't had time.... Realistically

 

[OBKubota]

Same here busy at work and trying to keep up with yard work. I just have stock blades on my mower. My property has a whole range of terrains so I don't think mulching would work for me.
