Mahindra 4540

It could be worse, you could be on this cruise ship that h

Hammy, I already have a work light on the rear right fender but I will look under the seat and the left fender for another hookup for lights.

Your rear work light is probably hooked to the wires I used for my lights. Mine was labeled rear work light on the fuse diagram.

That's what I was thinking, I'll look for another hookup because the left fender on the 4540 has a hole on hit for another work light.

I did a little digging to check my numbers since it was a few years ago I setup the system. I have Safego 18 Watt flood lights. I got them on Amazon.ca in a 2 pack. They run about 1.5 amps each on a 12 volt system. My rear worklight circuit is 7.5 amps. I used regular U clamps from the hardware store to mount them. They are cheap and easy to install. I will grab more pics of the box and the switches tomorrow.

Not much going on today, I went to a funeral of a relative who passed unexpectedly at 56.

We had a bunch of rain overnight so we'll give mother nature a few more days before I take the 4540 back in the area that I plan on starting to fell some ash so I can move some snow out of my work area.

@heavy hammer , the sun finally came out so if you sent it......thanks.

65 and sunny here. I have been working a lot were replacing a bunch of our old cedar transmission poles with new poles and insulators. It has been a good job with a lot of extra firewood to get. I built a new 110 switch pole and tore down the old one the other day. The supervisor ended up with a big truck load of cedar to mill about 30 inch diameter.

 

[heavy hammer]

Hammy could you take a picture of the work light hook up, so I could see what it looks like? I don't have the same configuration on my tractor wiring diagram but I do have some wires is the same spot with some kind of connectors in spot E just like your tractor is saying

I think our highest temp will be 55 with a low of 25 on Wednesday night, we'll put in a small load of firewood tomorrow and hopefully we can call it a year.

 

[heavy hammer]

these are the connections I have on my tractor in the spot where you have a work light spot. Any idea what they are?

 

[heavy hammer]

I'm ready for spring and some warm temps.

Not a clue what they can be used for.

 

[heavy hammer]

I was hoping maybe someone might know what they are for.

Where are they located?

 

[thewoodlands]

With some rain coming in, I decided to move some snow from an area I'll be felling some ash, hopefully mother nature gets rid of the rest so I can start cutting.

I also shaved some ice off the driveway where the water runs, after this rain we should be down to the crushed stone.

Before I did the above chit, I got the 36 inch bar cleaned up better so it's ready for some milling.

The first two pictures is the area I'll start cutting this week and the last two was a turkey we think a fox killed this morning which I moved deeper in the woods with the tractor.

 

[heavy hammer]

they are located right under and behind the right tail light fender.

Thanks, I'll give it a good look - over tomorrow.

A picture might just cause more confusion. I don’t do the cleanest wiring job. I will try to draw a diagram tomorrow and get a pic of it posted. It will make it pretty easy to inderstand

I am pretty sure those are the exact same ones I used. If you are looking at the back of the tractor mine were on the right by the tail light. That should be them. Did you find the wiring diagram like I posted?

I took a good look tonight and I didn't see anything like that on the 4540 but the sander is still on so when that comes off, I can get closer to the back for a better look.

When I took the rhino in for its annual grease,oil and filter change the back has been empty but tonight I finally loaded it back up with most of the stuff I use for cutting.

I have a few things to do so hopefully Wednesday or Thursday I can start felling some ash.

We had a pack of Coyotes out here the other night, my dogs were spooked.

I haven't heard or seen the yotes lately but I'm sure they're around.

Hammy my manual and wiring diagram looks exactly like yours except I don't have a E working Lamp fuse. There is nothing in my manual about a wiring harness, or hookup for work lights.

There are only 2 7.5 amp fuses in the box. I would check that you have one at position 8 for the PTO/cruise control and see if you have a 7.5 fuse at position 4. If you do I think it would be reasonable to assume that it is for the worklight. A call to your dealer may shed some light on it as well.

Grab a test light or low voltage meter and test the wires with both the lighting switch for the headlights on and off.
