Burglar Alarm for GT5000
I was sitting in my shed not doing anything in particular when my eye caught a glimple of a multi-colored box stuffed way back under my workbench. I pulled it out and lo-and-behold it was a car alarm I use to have on my old truck. Now that reminded me that my Craftsman GT5000 was a valuable piece of equipment so I installed the alarm on the GT5000. I have sensors on the hood, seat, cupholder - yes the cupholder so that if anyone trys to get it they will be in for one heck of a surprise - and on the Johnny Bucket so that if raised without proper authorization it too will sound the alarm.
The really neat thing about this alarm is that the alarm itself is a siren. I wired up a separate switch so that I could run the siren when the alarm is turned off. My neighbors must like it too. They were watching me as I ran up and down my back driveway and road with the siren going.
If I can't find one on the internet, the next time I go to the big city I might get one of those flashing red or blue lights the motorcycle cops have on those 24 inch chromed stantions.
I wired a green light to the dash that will stay on when the alarm is off and the mower is running indicating that all systems are a go.
