Hey everybody.
I did a small project on a lawn tractor that has been mostly relegated to snowblowing sidewalks and driveways.
The small Honda never had sufficient lighting for working at night (and in town) so I am going to add more lighting and so wanted a bit more battery to do that job.
I scrounged the boneyard and was able to get everything I needed (except the bolts) from used material. I had a piece of 3/8" x 4" aluminum angle and split it near the web for the supports and the rest is old signs and frames.
I ran the positive battery cable from the engine compartment down the frame channel to the rear mounted deep cycle battery.
It will be interesting to see how the aluminum (and my welds) hold up to supporting the 80lb. battery with the bouncing and vibration.
As always feedback is welcome...Positive or negative!
