Deck lights
 

I can't take credit for this since it was not originally my idea. I'm not sure where I saw it but I have made my own improvements to the idea.

I made a prototype out of tin and then made the finally version out of 1/8 steel so it would with stand some abuse if ever needed. The lights were about $5 for 8 of them on Ebay. Should make it a lot easier to mow at night when getting home late from coaching track in the spring.

Last picture is hard to see how bright they are since it was still light out but you can make out the shadows cast by the front tires.

Looks good so far! How about a night/evening shot with the mower deck mounted.

Plan on it soon. Hopefully by the weekend. Sad thing is I've had these built for over a month but at last got them on tonight.

slick idea...
 

...and execution!

Nice! I like it.

:IH Trusted Hand: I really like that! Great idea!!:beerchug:

Like others have said.. be sure and send us some nite pictures with the deck mounted!:beerchug:

Had a busy weekend but finally got some nighttime pictures. I only have the 42" deck on since the 48" is going to get overhauled sometime this spring/summer. Either way, the lights are up high enough that the deck doesn't block much.

Also figured since these and headlights are LEDs, that it will need a set of LED taillights so they match. Have a set off Amazon, just didn't have time to get them on yet.

These are the lights I have on my cub if anyone is interested in doing the same. I think I spent $5 between the lights and connectors for this project. Its a pretty cheap and helpful upgrade in my opinion. You can also order them in color if you wanted to dress your cub up. http://www.ebay.com/itm/15W-12-X-LED...1X4u5u&vxp=mtr
