 Topic: Allis 200 Lights
Posted: 09 Jun 2017 at 4:54pm |
|
Ok all...I'm wanting to add lights to my 200 but I'm not sure what kind to get. The fenders house 2 per side and have that vertical rectangular hole for the light. A few things:
1 - what type of light do I get for that type of rectangular hole?...ie, how is it held in place?
2 - low beams vs high beams...which one goes where?
3 - anything to consider when I wire them in?

I assume you have a fender tractor The lights have a stud on the back that goes through the slot. The slot is to allow adjustment. Outboard lights at the road lights. Inboard are the field lights. They wire to the rotary light switch on the dash. It has multiple positions. There is a flasher for the warning lights. The operators manual has a wiring diagram. The parts book has a good view of the instrument panel layout.

Thanks Joe (and fellow Texan)...this all makes sense now especially since my new manuals just came in the mail tonight. Also, doing some more research, I see now there is a "cup" style washer on the back of the light that holds it in place so my initial question seems ridiculous now!
However, looking through the archives, it appears going LED is a good option. I'm looking at Larsen's Lights and they have multiple flood and spot degree patterns...any particular degree I should be looking for regarding both the field and road lights? For example, I see 60 deg floods and 20 deg spots...is that what I need to get?
Also, what gauge wiring is recommended? I'm attempting to get everything acquired before I work on the tractor since it's about 8 hrs away.

Field light would be a wider angle or flood. Road light would be a narrower pattern. LED light would use less power than the original. 16 gauge wire would work. I think that is what was used originally.

If you get LED, you will never buy any thing else. MACK

If I remember right the wire was there already to install the second light I know that 185 was factory wired for another light

Tigerlights.com has led lights that look exactly like what came on a 200. Or at least pretty darn close.

Ok, after some research and price comparison, I went with Larsen Light LED's (very similar if not the same as Tiger but for a little less). The LED's that look like the conventional sealed beam units utilize a fluted lens. However, I couldn't mix/match my light set-up the way I wanted with fluted lens so I just went with the typical LED look which is fine with me...we'll see what it all looks like once it's all wired in on the tractor.
Once the box shows up from the "Brown Truck", I'll post some pics!

Ok all, as promised, here's a pic of the LED lights that came in today for the 200. They are Larsen lights. The quality is fantastic and the packaging was also top notch! I ended up getting hi/lo road lights, 60 deg trapezoids for the field, and a general flood for the work light...I also ordered new housings for all the lights. I'll get these wired up and provide some pics after installation.

Here's the part numbers for everything...figured it was easier to snap a pic of the invoice. And yes, they are very sharp and very well made.  The driving lights are: 24 watt (18 used) High beam - 2200 lumen Low beam - 1200 lumen NOTE...these are not DOT approved The trapezoid and work flood lights are: 18 watt (13 used) 1450 lumen 1.05 amps at 12 volts
