I thought this was going to finally tell us how the frame is connected to the house. Cest la vie
Jessie has a 25-year diesel mechanic I recommend you get some Dielectric grease from the auto parts store it will make your connectors completely waterproof and it makes the connectors easier to connect and disconnect just recommendation as always great video and Merry Christmas
The first thing to know about SAE connectors is make the female side of your power source the positive. Looks like your power side is male and could short easy when unplugged.
That's exactly what I was going to say. You have the plus exposed, which would short to the frame (assuming negative ground.)
Two videos on these lights? Might have been ok with one well thought out one, seems sketchy to me now seeing these cobbled together videos that have little structure. Is this how it ends?
it may have already been mentioned so I apologize if it was. on the 2 prong connectors that you used, you connected them backwards. You want to always have the positive terminal (the live one when disconnected) as the one that is female so that it does not accidentally touch something.. Not a big deal but just something to think about in the future.
He is electrical God, as we saw in solar panel video...
A water proof connector is only sealed when you don't forget the green sealing grommet before you crimp the connector on. Or you can look at this as a lesson on how not to wire lights that are in the elements.
Just a quick note on the wiring... When using those polarized quick connectors, it's best practice to put the half with the "male-negative" on the vehicle, and the "male-positive" on the device. When you have the "male-positive" on the vehicle, it has the potential to short out against the frame of the vehicle if you ever have it energized when not connected to the device. It looked like the lights might be wired with non-standard configuration. Fun project !
What lovely opening and closing shots, had to pause and admire. Drone shots really show the impact of just how well the new lighting really works on the Backo love the idea of the rubberized magnet light mount, clever solution well done might well get me a pair who knows?
Still Merry Christmas to you guys from us, keeping the dream alive John & Jackie UK
With all those lights your tractor could have 360° illumination
You should put a clamp multimeter on the red cable and a voltmeter to the battery for voltage mesurement, to see how many watts the lights draw. I bought a cheap 72 watt ledbar on ebay, and it only drew 27watts. So I get way less light then adverticed. Merry christmas from Norway.
Can you show how you connected your posts to your foundation? On the house raising did not see it on the video. I enjoy being able to see your journey.
What? Oh no! They are going to show how the frame is attached to the foundation!!?? This will ruin the day for the many jerks on here who feel the building is going to slide off and down the mountain. Must be the same "experts" who were sure the foundation would collapse at any moment. I can't wait until the SIPs show up to hear what a bad idea they are.
Lights look like they are working out great.great video.
Merry Christmas to you both!
years ago on a job that i done, the backhoe driver had same lighting problems, but he made his own magnetic mounts and managed to extend the cable and mount the lights on the side of the front bucket, so there wasnt any shadow from behind the bucket, it worked just as good as yours.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
Have a Merry Christmas to 2 very Special, hard working ppl, ya'll rock
The title is "No Drill, No Cut, No Weld". Five minutes in, Jesse is drilling the brackets to make them fit. I just find that funny.
Jessey had a brain fart drilling! Yeah, he is funny! Lol!
You'd have to have a brain to have a brain fart just saying
I've said before, many of the watchers will never have to do this stuff. I enjoy being inside my Minneapolis home -2 deg right now and watch you folks do it, and your presentation is great..
very well arranged and now clear snow.
joop.
You mounted the wrong lead to the backhoe. The red positive lead is exposed(unless you wired it red negative) and will short out if it contacts the negative grounded body. The other end of the connector has a shielded red to avoid just such a hazard.
blmeflmm66 I came here to say the same thing. Knowing him he'll change it.
Nice to see lights in action no more large power drain on battery
you guys always make me smile thank you happy trails
Merry Christmas Jessy, Alissa and Bugaboo!
Merry Christmas Jesse and Alissa. Love watching you two learn and grow together.!!
Upgrading lamps and connectors, you have my attention,
thanks for sharing.
Perfect video Jesse, I'm looking to add LEDs to my tractor as well.
Yes, there is a special crimp tool. Those are Weather-Pack or Metri-Pack connectors. Designed by Delphi Packard. Tools, pins and plastic shells are sold by various companies.
It is very common in the auto service world. Most mechanics would have one.
a decent crimper is going to cost more than $10 !
I used those magnet mounts when I mounted my solar panels on my metal roof, 3 yrs and they haven't moved at all....
Hey! Thanks for the extra pretty but unimportant footage at the end! I love that I saw the entire episode without obstruction! Y'all rock!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! This time next year you will be snug and warm in your new home. Looking forward to watching it happen.
Merry Christmas and happy new year..
Good Morning Jessie and Elisa Thank you for the video , I notice that on the o/side of your loader arm that it is cracking by the weld ,you may have noticed this???? also your o/side jack leg keeps creeping down ,possible oil seal or valve weeping .Anyway take care and once again thank you for all the videos Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Those LEDs work great..what a difference! Merry Christmas to you both!
DO NOT put lights on top of the roof of the tractor unless you plan to build a protective cage for whatever you put up there. First low hanging branch with have them on the ground.
Beautiful scenery out there. 😲
You can put some silicone or Teflon grease on the plugs it will cut down on problems if water gets in and makes it easier to plug and unplug! I have worked with electronics in cars, trucks, and many other things in Florida where water gets places that most people would say it can't get! Light coating of silicone grease helps keep water out, stops rust and other things. Put a small amount of silicone grease on your finger, then try to wipe it off. You can feel it still on there. It will stay on there until you use soap. I have used it for years!
Marry Christmas I watch you from day one you did a great job with every thing you both did and thank you for sharing with use
Love the magnetic bracket holders.
Love this! Great choice of music too.
Great job with the mag mounts! They make the lights really easy to move without compromising the structure. Consider placing some harnesses on the boom as well in the event you need additional light when using the rear boom.
Merry Christmas Guys and have a Blessed and Happy New Year! JC
Merry Christmas to everyone.
Merry Christmas!!
Packard (Delphi) is using the baha automotive industry for GM products, shitty in cold climates in past over time. The Deutsch products are better they are able to be fully waterproof and use solid brass pins for male female which is great for disconnection reconnect more then 10 times plus resistance to bending. It's used in industrial grade off road and airspace. When you want to make repairs or custom harness use quality so you have less impact of break down in future. In my past experience I was one of lead mechanical designer on AMMPS military generators. If you ever have questions about anything gensets from 1 liter to 120 liter I may be of help or if not I can point you to people or places for more information. Keep up the great work you guys are doing great.
Duuuude. Lookin like a pro! Magnetic mounts. Genius.
weather pack on those connectors, search on ebay Delphi weatherpack. there are low cost crimpers that are 2 stage for large and small wire weatherpack. use silicone grease on all the connections!! keeps the corrosion down!!
Spectacular footage you guys
He was concerned that someone would steal his lights and then he uses magnets to install them . LMAO It will be nice to be able to move them around where you need them .You need some of those spot lights like Cop cars used to have . lol
his comment was about putting a sticker on your truck that says "there are valuable lights here to take". He never said he was concerned about someone stealing his lights
the quick disconnect plug doesn't fit thru the hole :) jesse jesse jesse pretend you're starting all over. first go get yourself a couple of grommets that fit the outside holes, if you can't find any with a small hole in the center (for your quick disconnect plug wires) just punch a hole in them yourself. now thread the quick disconnect plug wires thru the little hole you made in the grommet, next slide that grommet all the way till it butts up against the plug. next take the two wires on the opposite end of the grommet/plug and insert them in the outside hole - push till they come out the larger hole in the cab. now do your crimping. you can now place the grommet(s) in the outside holes with your (now sealed) plug hang out of it!!1@#1! i know you don't read this stuff, but i was bored :) love all you and alysia do, thanks!
Seems to me that in the end those mounts minus the magnet should be able to use the mounting holes from the original lights if u wanna make it more permanent. Maybe replace those center lights with a more focused beamed light so ur able to light up further in front of u. Would probably make a great mixture
Merry Christmas keep up the good work.
As I sit here p[owing snow in what now feels like the dark..I'm super envious. Guess something like this will go on the "Save my pennies list".
Merry Christmas from Canada
I have a suggestion for you: I have used that type of connector for many things over the years. I always put the red mail on the light or load & the read mail pin on the line or load side. This way if the red mail pin contacts the frame or body of your tractor it will not short out & blow your fuse. Bruce
Yeppers my thoughts exactly
Merry Christmas! Looks beautiful (and cold) there. Stay warm and enjoy your day. :)
Use dielectric grease on connectors where you are concerned about moisture infiltration. If you want to buy the crimping tool then fine, but I’ve never had a bad result using a pair of needle nose pliers
There is a special crimping tool. It will fit three sizes of connector and your lay it in, squeeze the handle and it curls the prongs inward and makes a super connection. I will find the link and post it.
Merry Christmas!
Cool lights. Merry Christmas from my family to yours
If your pimping your backhoe a canvas cab and heater would make things a lot more enjoyable. And not cost a lot. Good video, Thanks
Too bad I'm looking at this after you're done. I'd bet those mounts for the lights can be turned around and bolted directly to the magnet. Saves a step or two.
All these whiz bang gizmos are cool, but get (or build) a decent work bench with a bloody vise.
i hope you two come up with a way to monetize your vids comments
'coz the haters up in here hate you so much they'd pay to say how much they hate on you
Atticus Draco they have 😁. They make vids that the haters are gonna hate, so the haters watch (and therefore contribute) and feel justified in leaving their pathetic senseless drivel laden diatribe of mis-spelled animosity 🤣
what about flipping the bracket over?
Merry Christmas y’all. Try looking Nilight. I have 4 on my jeep and I just love them
amazing snow shots! and Hope you had a nice Christmas!
I love to music it makes it feel magical lol
Merry Christmas great builders :)
Merry Christmas you guys.
Merry Christmas from a beautiful snowy Connecticut home..
Your title says "no drill" but you drilled.
Michael Meacham technically he reamed😁
Technically, he reamed; not drilled.
Also, he didn't alter his frame at all... Which was kind of the whole point to the title.
He was using a "stepdrill".
Sorry Michael, that is a rotary rasp; not a step drill.
You're right, I just went back and paused it. My bad (eyes). He still used a drill to do it.
I see you took my idea to duck tape them on, and went a step further using magnets- that's genius! ;) Good video. Would like to hear more whether Alyssa would rather do backhoe lights or get the walls and roof enclosed :)
Merry Xmas from Australia
Amazing! And don’t forget to solder those wire connections. Just crimping them isn’t enough. They need to be soldered to the crimps. Other wise they will make a poor connection down the road and you will find that you will have to rewire them. But the copper factory wires will be all oxidized and brittle for a good 6 inched down from where the case is cut. It’s also recommended to use heat shrink tubing on those connection points to prevent that from happening. And some electrical tape on the Baja sport plug end where the two wires are exposed just before the wether proof plug.
Merry CHRISTMAS to ALL!
Did the same thing to my John Deere 1025R this summer. I used magnets also and left 3-4 foot of wire to move lights. Getting better light if and when I put the ROP. I leave the ROP down mostly, well until I get all the trees trimmed on the property. Then I'll have to learn to put the ROP down BEFORE I put in back into the garage......LOL (I've done that twice now, my first clue is the wheelie)
Merry Christmas! will check it out
Only two seasons in Northen Idaho? Winter and Summer!!!
Merry Christmas from Maine
Nice B roll at the start and finish thanks Alyssa.
Use a step drill to enlarge the holes quick and accurate. What type lighting did you use for the garage ?
Warning! This is a positive comment. You guys make great videos and have a great channel. The filming, editing and music are very well done. Jessie is an excellent speaker. Alyssa is very sweet and endearing. This may well prove to be the best homesteading channel. I am totally confused why there are so many hateful trolls. Just baffled.
I can help you with that. Those who can, do. And those who can't, troll. So when I see a troll, I just feel a bit sorry for them. After all, youtube is optional, not required viewing. And then of course there's the self esteem issue and needing to feel superior, but that starts to get into psychology and that's a bit deep for most of them.
Well said
Love the leds,
Merry Christmas From South West PA
Those crimp on connectors WILL BE A POINT OF FAILURE !!
This video and the last video could've been one 15 minute video this isn't the same amount of content or quality of a day of house building
jack r and you can try not being a jerk. But you'll do it anyway, just as they will make whatever video they want.
Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you both. Add the other 2 you have in place of the other halogens for distance and the 4 cheap Chinese on sides (2 per) light bar or something in the back.
Hope you have a good Christmas
Hi Guys, Merry Christmas. When the lights are dialed in you might want to solder the crimps. Crimps like those shown tend to oxidize and fail. Usually they will take a dump when Murphy visits. Great job on the video edits..!!!
Michael Bottai just add dialectic grease
Why put 2 different sets of connectors and more buttt crimps? The sealed connectors you had are intended for this application. The other connections are more a temporary solution and more points of failure. The magnets are also a waste of parts, unless you 'want to reposition thé lights frequenntly or get the nice lights stolen. Keep it simple !
Denis Ouellet the magnet seems to be for testing purposes....
Ouellet? Seeing that name I had comment, one of my great great ancestors was a Ouellette, might be related somewhere in the past. ; )
MISTERComaToes m'y ancestor immigrated from France and stayed for a while on Orléans Island, near Québec city.
My ancestors on my Mother's side immigrated from the Alsace region in France and were in Quebec for many years until one of the great French Canadian migrations when they moved to Massachusetts... around a hundred years ago or so.
don't like to modify things! man that's what I live for. if welding and building and modifying things didn't exist . I wouldn't either? I love LED lighting also!
Merry Christmas y'all!
maxst2 reciprocal wishes! And a fruitful new year!
Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas to you. Hope you have a great holiday.
You can run the new wires through the front hole . Then connect them to the old wire through the back hole.
I still say that backhoe was your very very best investment... Man can you imagine how tough you lives would be without it... Hope you can start construction again soon... Not for me, but just so you can get moved in... Love you guys and Merry Christmas.. and may the New Year be even more than you can imagine.
Very nice. Personally, I would use both sets of lights. Also, I was going to suggest turning the bottom mount lights over to make them into top mount lights (or vice versa).
Merry Christmas to you.
I was intrigued by how the LEDs illuminated (and changed) the color of the tractor .
Turned the color to a bright yellow.
The difference between the led and halogen is the color temperature. Led lights have polarized light and usually mono tones in the blue light that is intensified.
Good tutorial of the differences between the color temps and intensities between the two.
Jon Bigman wasted breath. This guy has no clue about lighting or the difference between different types.
I never implied he didn't. I was only commenting on the differences. He does well to understand even before I said anything.
Does anyone else think Jessie’s Canadian accent gets more pronounced the colder it gets?
It is a Northern Accent. We have it in Michigan too. I think I recall in a video not to long, he also said "Pop," for soda. 👍
Haha Keith! Their accents are unmistakably thicker as the cold enshrouds them.
You put the wrong end of the SAE connector on the backhoe (you called them quick connectors). The Negative pin should be exposed on the backhoe and the Positive pin should be shielded on the piece connected to the backhoe. The reason is that most equipment has a grounded frame ie the frame is directly referenced to the Negative connection. If you have the Positive connection exposed on the backhoe, you have the potential to short out the backhoe when change the lights. Of course if you know that your backhoe's frame is Positive referenced I withdraw my comment.
