LED lights have truly revolutionized lighting in so many ways. Take that mower for example...it probably has a very small charging circuit, and with filament type bulbs you wouldn't get a fraction of the light those LEDs produce without killing the battery after a few minutes.

[@chud327]

1000 times the light on 1/100 of the power needed... Win win!! Thanks for watching!!

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

Love the way that front end looks; it's like a mad Max robot!

[@chud327]

you are so right and thanks so much for watching.

[@crazinesskid6254]

Dang I missed the premiere. Thanks for the shoutout! Colonel Craftsman looks great with the new grille and headlights! I wish I could fit my hood on, I need lights at night lol.

[@chud327]

No problem and thanks for the tag!! Thanks for watching.

[@Tennesseemountainhomestead]

The hood and lights on Colonel Craftsman look fantastic! Thanks for the shout out Chud327!

[@joshuahixson3854]

Yes those lights are sweet!

[@chud327]

No problem at all, thanks for the comment and for sending the tag!! Love the hood and lights too thanks for watching. Make sure all the family sees their shout out too...

Watching the video again now that the live chat and everything isn’t going on so I can pay better attention. That’s really cool that the lights came with the switches and everything. I also like your homemade dimple dye! The sheet metal work on the front of that tractor makes it look so tough. It really came out great!

[@chud327]

Thanks so much, I have been putting that off for years, glad it is done and turned out ok!! The lights are the whole package. Thanks for the rewatch!! And the tag again...

[@Lonniell95]

Glad to see all the tag turn ins!

Bad Ass Grill man! I have an old hood off a poulan and the grill is busted out of it so you have just given me a cool idea for a new grill for it. Thanks Chud327! Love your videos! 👍

[@chud327]

Hope it works out for you . Speaking of Poulan's, my OG has a broke grill, now I am thinking what can I do to it... thanks, as always, for watching.

I have more sheet metal on that truck if you need a little and that green cab in the woods has some too. I need to think of what to build next. thanks again for all the comments.

[@terrybeazley7414]

On one of your tractors that have a live diff you should put steering bracks on so you can direct power to one side or other when you need it

[@chud327]

That would not work on a like axle, but I have thought about it on the stock rears. Thanks for watching!

Hopefully they will do better than the original one's that came stock on this mower from back in the day the original one's were 1156 twist and lock style of light bulbs I used them in my poulan XT mower and they could not handle the up and down of engine speed they' would burn out real quick OH by the way My craftsman Ys mower is needing a New carburetor on it I don't like the Nikki carburetor 😡🤬
