Recall a year ago I put Tigerlights LED Warning lights in my 4250. I also put them on a 4055 last year. Now I have put them on a 4450.
Observations:
4250, Warning lights worked great, a nice even steady flashing. As turn signal lights, they worked erratically. Tigerlights suggested I replace the turn indicator controller. I have not done that yet. On the 50 series the load the turn indicator controller sees affects the flashing rate.
4055, Both warning lights and turn signal lights had a nice even steady flashing. On the 55 series the flashing rate is NOT dependent on the load the lights present. Flashing rate is controlled by the electronics of the tractor.
4450, I put a new turn indicator controller from the start. Both warning lights and turn signal lights have a nice even steady flashing, maybe a little faster than was with the incadecent bulbs but not noticable to the un-informed. So, this experience would in-directly suggest Tigerlights suggestion to repalce the turn indicator controller was on track. I still plan to replace the turn indicator controller on my 4250, I will report then. That would give me direct evidence.
Comment. Frankly I am a little surprised the 4450 turn signals worked so well with a new turn indicator controller. Maybe fresh contacts helped. Of course I had not tried the old controller on the 4450. Again, I will try a new controller on the 4250.
So what's my point? If your 50 series with LED waring lights has erratic turn signal behavior, in-direct evidence suggests to try replacing the controller. 30, 40, and 50 series all use that same contoller.
I had several big projects (big to me) this winter as I described last fall. I will report on those later.
