Gonna clear coat it when you're done too? Give the paint a good tough shell?

Ooh, I've never thought of waxing a mower. That could be a good way to really brighten up paint.

Wow, the MTD looks really good! Paint is really shiny. Can't wait to see it with the hood on Smile

You went all out on that thing.  I think it is one of the cleanest, coolest, and best executed tractors in the forum!  Nice job!

Great looking paint!

So how many amps is your charging circuit good for?  I'd think you'd be able to run about 20 watts worth of lighting directly off of the battery without draining it.  Or you could put in a regulator or rectifier on your existing lighting circuit that you have to change the AC to DC and run the LED lights with that.

you need a diode, regulator, or rectifier

To run the LED lights without flickering, only way is to run off of a capacitor in the light circuit. Will need a capacitor about the size of a beer can, sorry LOL, I mean a pop can. A capacitor will smoothen out the power pulses from the stator on the lighting circuit going into the LED lights. So the order of parts would be= stator wire, through the diode, to the + side of the capacitor(must be hooked up after the diode, DC current only), from the + side of the capacitor to the LED power wire. Then the - side of the capacitor to the chassis for grounding out the capacitor. This will still keep the light circuit separate from the charging circuit, and will still make the lights go dim when idling the motor but the lights will not be flickering. To limit the brightness at full throttle you will need an adjustable voltage regulator rated at the proper amperage, if over voltage is an issue.

A cheap alternative on getting a big enough capacitor would be on industrial lighting. An automotive capacitor for stereo probably would be expensive. Maybe look in electronic circuit boards because a capacitor is a capacitor no matter what it's used for, and can be identified by it being round usually. If one capacitor is in the circuit and the lights still flicker, then add another capacitor by connecting the + sides in a parallel circuit and ofcourse grounding out the additional capacitors to the chassis . No such thing as to many capacitors in a circuit.

You should be able to run the LEDs off the battery, they don't draw much. Even a stock charging system could keep up with that.
