Was "Almost an owner", Now an Owner!

The dealer finally got the machine all together and did a nice job
installing the accessories on the machine. I will probably be
working on making it the way I want it for quite some time. I
already made a small bracket to stiffen the mounting of the rear work
light.



The work lights have switches on them, so I 'll start by making a
overhead switch panel like most of you have done. Then I can
rewire and install switches inside. I also use an electric
sprayer, so I'll rig a switch for that as well. Plus wire a spare
for future use.



The gauges fogged within the 1st hour.



I did get a heater too. Works nice

Congrats on getting your RTV!!!
Before you get/install any overhead switch panels, think long term of what all you may want switches for. Attached is a pic of my switches and 9 out of 10 are already used (and my spreader/sprayer switch isn't on this panel). I would also recommend/propose that you get marine grade switches that are meant to be exposed to the elements and aren't affected by water.</P>


I put several lights/accessories on my RTV and put most on their own switch so I only use the ones I need. Don't want all on one switch for fear some airplanes may mistake my area as a runway.</P>

Thanks Brian.



Looks like you did a nice job. I built an aluminum panel
yesterday and installed 5 switches. 4 of which are defined now, 1
for future use. I have plenty of space on the panel and made it
so it is easilly accessable to add and modify.



I did a last minute switch at the dealer and swapped worksite tires for
the stock "ATV" tires that come on a recreational model.



So far so good.

Bob - That's probably a really good call. The ATV tires can get you into (and more importantly out of) a lot more.</P>
