I’m new and a little nervous when it come to anything electrical, can you just swap these in w/o modifying anything? only thing I’ve done besides outlets is wired in a analog hour meter to the on switch of the tractor.Finally installed LED headlight bulbs...what a difference!!!!!
Also installed a magnetic mount LED work light I had sitting around. When I upgraded to the 40 amp alternator, I ran a harness from the rear worklight wire under the right tail light, with a relay to a switch on the side of the dash. That thing is crazy bright. Should have done it years ago!!!
Here's the LED Bulbs I used.

The LED headlight bulbs are a SIMPLE SWAP! Just twist the locking ring and the bulb comes right out in the socket. Grab the bulb, push in, and turn to remove it. Reverse to install the new LED bulbs.I’m new and a little nervous when it come to anything electrical, can you just swap these in w/o modifying anything? only thing I’ve done besides outlets is wired in a analog hour meter to the on switch of the tractor.

Very nice! One of my shoe castings is broken, the factory laughed when I asked about a replacement. She said they do stock the tune up kit for this model.

I use a couple heavy straps looped through a chain hooked on my bucket to clean the deck of my zero turn. I just lift the front up, and lock the FEL controls. I mulch with it so it needs to be cleaned every so often.Cut up a tree top that was blown down a couple of weeks ago in a wind storm. Got 2 nice 80" logs out of it. Will make some good firewood.

Then worked on the pull behind mower. One of the bearings went out and I was trying to remove the blade mounting plate to pull the spindle out. I tried using a puller, but that didn't work. Going to ask a friend if I can bring it over and have him heat it up, I don't have a torch. Took me a little while to find a 2x6 short enough for a safety.

Certainly a very beautiful wild plant!This is one of the fields up by the road. I normally mow it a couple of times a year. Would usually mow it a bit later but I drive by it every day and the saplings in one section were irritating me.
The front that’s supposed to drop rain on us today and tomorrow isn’t making for an ideal weekend. Thinking it will be worth it plus some if it turns Lee out to sea as predicted. View attachment 111147
However, that means up at 6:00 to beat the rain. Made it to the shed to pick up the bush hog about 6:30. View attachment 111148 View attachment 111149
Much better. This little section of field is the only area on the whole place near a neighbor’s house. Not sure if they were happy with 7am Saturday morning mowing or not. They didn’t say anything about it.Sorry neighbor!

While I had the bush hog on, I drove down a couple of the grassier trails just to clean them up a little. I now know it is fall here because this is blooming. I’ve always heard it called Indian Paintbrush but I’m no botanist. I just know when it shows up in the creek bottoms here: it’s fall. View attachment 111151
I believe this striking red native species is Lobelia cardinalis, Cardinal flower, Indian Pink, Lobelia.While I had the bush hog on, I drove down a couple of the grassier trails just to clean them up a little.

That little trailer looks mighty handy.Put the grapple on so I could beef up the pallet it was on and add castors to the bottom to make it mobile.

Put the trailer on to move a few things around the property.

does not have ballastsNope!
If you curently have regular fluorescent bulbs, you will need to rewire the fixtures to bypass the ballasts for LED's.
Very simple to do though.
Awesome, and welcome to OTT!Used my new L2502 to mow the lawn (3.5 acres) for the first time today. I am loving the fuel efficiency compared to the old 1948 Ford I’ve been using for the last 8 years.
My main reason for buying it was it is the perfect size to haul a water tote around the property but I didn't use it once this summer for that purpose since we had so much rain but it's been great for general use.That little trailer looks mighty handy.
