Surely some of you have done this? Im wanting to set one of my "redone tractors" out by side of farm....with lights. Any suggestions on wheels and the outline? colors? Im thinking "chasing lights"...maybe. Thanks!
 
The dealership back home used to do that. John Deere dealership, used green to outline tractor and yellow chasing lights on the wheels to make it look like it is moving.
 

Mine from a few years back, chaser lights on the wheels and disc. Same lights on the tractor, but I think I selected a dimming/bright setting for them.

A long time ago we did the farmall H up with the buzz saw on. ran motion lights along the belt around the shaft and edge of blade and left the excess fall on the ground so it looked like it was cutting wood.

I did the M one year with a lap around the rear wheel, along the frame, down and around the front wheel came back up zigzagged across grill, down along edge of hood to light post aroumd steering wheel then back to the front along the ridge.

Had a single orange flasher bulb om the stack of both
Don't have any pictures of either of them though.

My friend did a oliver and had every hole in the grill with a yellow light and several green sets going back and forth across the hood/ side curtains, then red over wheels, looked sharp...can't fimd the picture though

He also did this Minnie mo. similar but with a few less lights then the ollie.

I have done a few tractors pulling things, a swather and an old 49 chevy truck. Chasing lights make a huge difference and make things look great. I wish I could find the video of the swather. I had the lights on the header chasing so it looked like it was running. I can't seem to get the picture to upload the right side up. This year will be a Ford 8N pulling an old hay trailer with a few square bales of straw and some inflatable cows and pigs riding it. It usually ends up costing a lot more than what I tell my wife. Haha
