Fender light guards?

Ribz · Jun 26, 2017

I thought what I had in mind would be easy to find. Not so much. I lost a lens from my fender flasher lights. With all the branches I run through it was bound to happen. Does anybody know of light guards available for the fender mounted lights on my Kubota L4740?

Thanks.

After I tore off the second flasher light on my Kioti I made my own. Took a 1/4" metal plate and drilled holes for U-bolts. Then mounted it to the roll bar. Will try to get picture tomorrow.

It also makes a great hand hold for getting on the tractor.

I'll be looking for your pics also RSKY. My lights are "out there" like a sore thumb. So far I've been fortunate.

I tried to rotate the pics but could not. Anyway, it is a 1/4" plate cut on a chop saw with holes drilled for the U-bolts. A slot was cut for the light, which had to be taken off and reattached, and the pivot pins for the roll bar replaced with bolts. Took about a day from going to get materials to finish. That doesn't count letting paint dry, getting the wrong size U-bolts, wrong length thru bolts, etc..

It was so easy because the lights are attached to the rollbar base. Your tractor is probably different but you get the idea.

Thanks RSKY. You're right. I'm not sure that would work for my situation with the lights on top of the fenders, but it has me thinking. Thanks for taking the time to post those photos.
You're a credit to the Commonwealth!

Yes, thank you for the pics. Now you got me thinking. Even with my fenders being steel I don't think I want U-bolts on the fenders - but that's not the way you did it. HMMMM - - good Lord I smell wood smoke. Thanks RSKY.

I like your guards. Many of our machines got light guards added to them since the strobes we use run $150 and they get hit all the time.

I like it but mine are also mounted to the fender which would be too flimsy unless I put a backing plate underneath...which wouldn't be that hard.

I have DIY work lights mounted on the sides of my ROPS and they are constantly getting knocked loose from mowing along woods lines etc. I think I could fab up something like that for those as well. Thanks for the idea!

I would really like to know what they look like, where they come from, and price, if possible. Thanks.

Not sure the lights we protect, is very applicable for tractors. Nonetheless, I'll attach a few photos. Most of these guards were built or modified via me.

That's one **** of an idea. Simple too and protect far better than those form fitted custom jobs my Massey has. Mine look cool but are useless as bull hooters for keeping brush from hitting the front side. I just ripped mine off a second time and fixing is getting old.

ArlyA, thanks for posting your work there. Great stuff. Very resourceful thinking on the back of the ATV, right down to the tool box. I've been busy this fall and hadn't posted in a while. Much appreciated.

I know it is an old post but we are making light guards for those tractors now. Here are a few photo’s of them on my 5740. They will fit the fender as well.

I assume these nicely done guards fit up to the L60 Kubotas also?

Hi Paul. Been following your videos much longer than I've been a member here. You are the man when it comes to fab work. I'm not sure there's a better fab man in the entire NASCAR world, and I've seen some cool stuff they've made. Your guards are a nice simple design.

Yes they will. They are actually built using 1/8th plate and are built like a battleship lol.

Thank you. Nice to hear. We have been introducing things slowly because the response has been overwhelming. The single guards are simple in design. They are designed for easy installation. You just loosen the nut on the light, tighten and your done. There are guards for the BX as well. They are much more complicated to produce but have sold like hot cakes.
We just purchased a new CNC plasma table so now we are into building the Sure-Footer larger outrigger pads for the B & BX tractors. Here is a photo of them getting ready to ship. Nice chatting with you and thanks for watching.

How do we purchase the outrigger pads from you?

Paul..... the link for your accessories seems to have disappeared from your website. It looks like your only accessory is the new spill guard.
