Ford 2000; 3 cyl. gas; 4/1 trans..... The headlights on my tractor were long ago ripped off leaving only the holes in the sides of the front nose cowling. I got a set of headlights and am ready to mount them but need some input on wire and fuse size. I'm assuming I would wire the units with one wire running back to the switch (is this the ground point?) and a second wire to the hot side of the battery with an in-line fuse and with that wire continuing to a second pole on the light switch. So, the current is interrupted by the switch with overload protection via the fuse. What gauge wire should I use and what amperage fuse?
At some time I want to add work lights to the rear of the tractor, either on the fenders or on the ROPS, and am hoping the same kind of wiring setup would work for those lights as well. Except, was thinking it would be useful to have a weatherproof toggle switch for the work lights on the back instead of running them thru the light switch on the dash.
Does this sound like a reasonable approach or a path to frying the tractor? Many thanks.
