Bruker Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 I have a 12 year old 16GTH with a 42" deck. Over the years I've added a switched 12 volt lighter outlet to power a sprayer. Added a steering knob to help make tighter turns. Added a non-tipping drink holder. Added a 2" ball hitch. And finally I added a car horn to get peoples attention. What have you done?
UCD Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 On my 7790 I have added a solid glass windshield to the snow cab. A rotating orange warning light. Cab lights from an early model 7000 series (the four bulb type). A cab windshield defroster. Electric Windshield wiper. Rear cab mounted red clearence/marker lights. Rear hitch with 2" ball. Rear lift and 0ne Point sleave hitch . This tractor is mainly used for snow removal and has had a blower mounted on it for 18 years, year round. The HB-116 I bought from Sam I have only added a johnny bucket that I bought from Kent and a rear hitch with 2" ball. It all ready had a Simplicity horn that Sam installed.
Boney Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 UCD if it is not too much truoble can you post a piture of the 7790, sounds interesting.
AGCO918 Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 Would like to see pictures of it also with the rear lights.
UCD Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 This picture shows the roof lights and the rear clearance/marker lights at the top on rear of cab [img]http://www.simpletractors.com/club2/attach/UCD/Tractor1.JPG[/img] This picture shows the Hard windshield installed. I don't have a picture of the inside of cab with the 5 position lighted rocker switch panel or defroster/heater or a picture of the electric windshield wiper installed. The snowblower has an electric controlled spout rotator on it. The silver thing with cord attached hanging on the wall is the winter heater starting system. A 250 watt clamp on heat lamp controlled by an in-house switch. The markings on the side of the hood are hand painted pin striping scroll work [img]http://www.simpletractors.com/club2/attach/UCD/7790-7.JPG[/img]
Boney Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 Real nice tractor you have there, UCD, thank you for posting the pics of it. :) Looks like a real nice setup to have for the winter.
Kent Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 My Big Ten has high/low beam headlights, a combination rear taillight/worklight, toolbox, horn, high-low pulley and add-on hydraulic lift.

Boney Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 Kent great looking machine, did you restore it yourself or get them like that?
Kent Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 I did both... Here's the Big Ten story: http://www.simpletractors.com/images/big10_delux/Dcp00296.jpg And here's a story of the major project done to the HB-216... putting a later model Sundstrand hydro tranny in it... The engine is a newly rebuilt 16 HP that I put in later. It got some repainting done this past winter to repair body damage. The only remaining parts from the original tractor are the seat frame, dash, bulkhead and hood.... http://www.simpletractors.com/do_it/variable_to_hydro.htm

jkmustang1 Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 So far all I did was remove the wooden sewing thread spool from the pto and add a knob Charlie found at the show for me.
