53 NAA is what i have. I attached a rear work light to the fender last night, works great. I have two questions though.

First, how is the wiring run up to the switch. Is there a special place for the wiring to go, right now i just have it taped to the rear trumpet/axle assembly and then run along the tranny housing and up to the dash. Just wondering what some of you have done.

Second, i noticed last night that while the tractor was running at mid range in rpms and i had the lights on that when i used the hydraulic lift the lights would dim a little and then go back to bright again. What could be causing this. Bad ground on the system all together or bad generator?? I have everything wired directly to the batter (lights that is).

someone on this board gave me the idea of using brake line to run the wire. works great, easily formed to the curves of the tractor and held in place with those little sheet metal like straps under various bolt heads.

I, too, recently added a rear light. I used some old fuel line to route the lead wire and grounded it at the light bracket. The lead wire comes down the right side of the steering box and into the fuel line which is fixed to the tractor using a small piece of electritians tape and one of the bolts that mount the steering box to the tranny. The fuel line was a bit resistant to being routed along the transmission housing and perticularly through the hole at the tranny flange, but it was not too hard. My light is mounted behind the seat, not on the fender, so my wiring and fuel line stop there with another home-made electricians tape bracket. With some more patience a person could continue the steel line along the axle housing and possibly up the fender (inside or out). Hints, run your lead wire through your steel line first, because it can be a buggar to do after all the bends (Don"t ask how I know.) and use steel line that fits easily throught the flange hole, but not too small so that your lead wire gets pinched in the tight bends. I have an 8N and it is far from stock so adding nifty bells and whistle is what I like. Hope this helps.

Ryan..... ...I don't have a NAA so I can't tell you where the worklight wiring is typically run. But I do know that there are lottza clamp/clippies and the wire goes thru the tranny flange hole below yer right knee.

As for yer dimmin' lights when you raised yer hydraulic lift. Thats semi-normal. You've diverted engine power from turning yer genny to power-up yer hydraulic pump to lift yer 3-point load. Normally, yer governor kinda takes up the power slack. But yer genny volts could be slightly low and more rpm sensitive..... .....Dell

Did the engine rpm change any when you use dthe lift? if so.. that changed the charge votlage.. and effected voltage.. and thus brightness of the lamps.
