Default 107's got lights

Tonight, finally got around to finishing up the wiring for the 107's custom dual LED headlights. She's also sporting a new fuel tank, thankfully no more leaks!

Here's before, notice the large jumble of wire on the left of the dash tower. The light kit came with a lot of extra wiring. Also notice the hunky out-of-place switch. (can be seen near the bottom left corner of the 2nd pic, sorry it's kinda hard to spot)

Now, the wiring is all neat, no more jumbled mess. Got a different switch, up behind the PTO handle where the stock light switch would go. (I would use a correct push-pull switch if I could figure out how to get it off my parts tractor) Not the best wiring, it's only held down with electrical tape, but I have plenty of time to make it better if I ever want to. No holes were drilled anywhere in the tractor to mount the lights, simply a piece of aluminum was cut and bent to fit in a slot beneath the battery box. I think it turned out pretty well, and the lights are super bright and use almost no battery power.

Also, note the piece of rubber behind the battery hiding the wiring in the dash tower, that was original to the tractor and I made sure to keep it. Even our cat wanted to join in with the fun, but it turned out she was too tired
