73X did the hard part of finding part numbers to work,
Anco 41-01 wiper arms and 31-13 wipers,
but when i got the parts home and put together i wasn't happy with the sloppy fit between the metal arm and the plastic J
so i got to looking at it, and started taking it apart.
where the plastic...
I thought these were the turbo 400hp engines?
did that change? or were the turbos later adaptations to the original 250 engine?
still looking at two of them if 400 hp, but please clear that up for me. Thanks.
any idea of mileage on the tractors?
for $800? I'll take one and Andy1234 would also.
if the transmissions are extra that's fine.
how many miles on them?
any chance of getting other parts off of them?
how would you like payment?
as of right now, i have bout $35 and 6 hours in this light.
its still cheaper than getting a new regular headlight from carquest.
i'm looking forward to putting power to it compared to a regular sealed beam.
Progress, finally.
i got to work on the light tonight. i finished up the second to last row, and with the number of comments concerned about overheating, i only put two strings of 7 in the last ring on the right and left sides. Then i went through and tied all the negatives together with brown...
latest update for the portable bar/office.
last week we got the panel in for the electric, tonight we got an 8 gauge cord and plug hooked to it and connected to the welder extension cord.
all the lights and outlets work just fine, got the beer fridge plugged in, and smoked a pipe and watched...
I drove it back from jefferson city. It hooked right up, all the trailer lights worked, the brakes worked, the tires were new and had good pressure, and trailered very nicely.
you could definitely tell it was a 20,000 lb trailer when going up hill, but it wasn't pushing me around.
the biggest...
it is 25.4 at idle, it gets up to about 27 at 54mph, which is why i figured for 28v when putting the led string together.
i went ahead and uploaded pics to the site, I had tried using [img] code, but the bboard only put up links
panshark, i could advertise it in winter to keep your blinker...
well when the stock tire is an 1100-20, and you have a two man crew...
lean it against the space between the rear axles, heave it on top of the duals, climb up onto the truck, stand the tire up, and roll it to the carrier, then give it a little wiggly-jiggly (technical term) to get it up into...
yeah, regular 20ma. max voltage 3.6, nominal 3.4, running a string of 7 behind a 180 Ohm resistor. to give me about 28 volts to play with. Hopefully that helps with the heat seeing as how the truck consistently runs at 25.4v
final count in the lamp will be 170 5mm LEDs at a theoretical 55,000...
didn't know if this was the best place to start this or not, Mods can move it if needed.
getting tired of changing headlights in the m-818, and didn't want to spend $$$ on production LED headlights so i decided to try making my own.
First step was cutting the back off one of the burnt out...
