Looking great with the new fronts! ATV tread rears will look good too.

Don't put these tires on the rear. They are awful.

I really like these LED pods too. They make it so easy to drive at night.

Is your coil charging currently? Could it keep up with your old lights?Those lights should only draw 3 amps which isn’t much. What’s your charging circuit rated for?

you should be able to hook the (+) DC side of the charge wire, the (+) side of the battery, and the (+) feed for the lights all together, they are on my tractors.

Need a diode in the light wire also, just like the charging wire. The wire for the lights is AC current and the diode will make it DC and prevent feedback into the stator when motor is off. Adding the light wire to the charging wire, done the correct way will give you more amps for charging too.

The box next to the starter solenoid is probably a regulator. Look at the wire coming from the engine and going to this box, should be the charging wire with the diode. The diode is usually under heat shrink wrap on the wire with a bulge in the heat shrink, the bulge is the diode.  It should be before the box. You can connect the light wire with the diode after the diode of the charging wire and before the box. If you can't find the diode, then hook up a meter to the wire coming from the engine and before the box to see if it is AC or DC current. If it is AC current, then the regulator box has the diode inside of it. Then you would need 2 diodes, one on the charging wire , then one on the light wire and after the charging wire diode, but before the box, would be the connection for the light wire.
If the wire coming from the engine to the box is DC, then just add 1 diode to the light wire and connect it to the charging wire anywhere before the box.

Do it in this order, if it makes sense. You have to add the diode(s), they prevent the feed back into the stator when the engine is not running, and separates the input voltage going into the regulator box by keeping the voltage from shorting out by going back into the stator while running too. You are basically making a rectifier from the 2 wires(charging and light) wire before it is doing anything like going into the box of just straight to the battery.

Oh, the LED lights was flickering because the alternator wire was only a half wave of voltage, it pulses with power from stator output. The LED's are diodes themselves and senses the pulses from the stator output. This is normal for LED lights. Which makes sense to hook LED lights straight to the battery power instead of the light wire or charging wire. The battery power does not pulse.

That's a good idea.  You should mount that concrete weight on the back of this once you get the plow on to give you some traction.

Nice, I bet that will be useful come winter time.

Nice!! I like the mount, so you can mount it on the front of the mower. I have one where it mounts underneath which means you have to lay on the ground to disconnect it.
