Once again overkill, but I like the way you think.
Actually considered that, but a bit too much... also decided it would be too low, especially when Big snow, they'd be blocked.
What I found thanks to posts in the LED thread was
these
...for the upgrade to LED front light, and also:
...for a rear light and possible chute light.
Finally got around to some install a week or two ago, very pleased with the results. For now, one 18w headlight mounted on the original bracket:
The included bolt fit the stock threads just right, included nut added as an additional locknut, because, why not.
And one 10w for the rear, mounted via a fortuitously placed factory threaded hole/welded inner nut, which would support the chute control shaft bushing bracket on a manually operated unit. Just sitting there empty...
...waiting for some purpose in life.
The light's hardware (M6) bolted right in, and again I was able to get an additional lock nut on the other side. That also provided a nice place to ground the unit so I only had to run a power wire up to the lighting connector.
Previously mentioned Result:
Do Like.
The auger oil issue turned out to be... a non-issue, what happened was I mistook a drip for Niagara and put in way too much oil. Got an owner's manual in the interim so armed with Information I drained and refilled the box to the correct level, and it's not seeping now so that's gtg I think. Have fresh seals in hand, just in case.
She got a fresh battery too this month, since I found a nice Hitachi on sale; the old one was of unknown age/history and was reluctant to take a full charge when I first pulled it. Been nursing it a bit and it seems pretty fair now, I'll find a home for it somewhere that doesn't require emergency duty at o'dark:30.
