Hazard lights for TC33d

[John_Mc]

Where can I get a good set of replacement hazard lights for a 2001 TC33D?

One thing I liked about the original lights was that the base had a sort of spring-loaded flexible mount, so the light fixture could take a hit and just bend over, then bounce back up again. I've finally beaten mine to death enough while working in the woods that one of them is mostly gone, and the other. New Holland has discontinued the lights. I can't find anything similar online. I'll probably just have to go with one of the fixed stud mounts and make some sort of guard for them.

Wondering if any of you have already solved this problem.

Interesting modification. Mine are (or at least were) still on the factory mount.

I've debated moving them to the inside of the ROPS, but not sure I like them poking in toward me. I'll probably just come up with some sort of guard around them, though for some of the woods work, I'm guessing I'll just end up bending or breaking the guard.

My TC45DA had that same setup and I am replacing them with some leds in a steel framed box.

This is the layout on a piece of plywood.

Found these. The box is almost 9" wide, which is more than I'd like, but I suppose they'd work.

You could try mounting them vertically to decrease the width.

However, I think that sheet metal will get damaged if you hit them with limbs.

Yeah. I might try mounting them something like @Hughman did in his picture in comment #2. Trying to avoid drilling or welding on the ROPS, but I might have to, unless I do something with a U-bolt (or mount it on end using the existing bracket, if that seems strong enough).

The boxes are pretty tough. Sheet metal box might get damaged, but it's a lot more solid that what I have now.

I didn't do anything custom. That's the way they come on the newer TC

Long lane tractor is a NH graveyard in Elizabethtown PA They usually have plenty of used parts on hand that will fit your tractor. I have gotten parts for them shipped to me and the have been very helpful.

I ended up going with some LED replacements from Amazon and fabricating a simple cage out of some scrap metal to protect them. It's not as elegant as the original, but it's held up pretty well so far.

Got a poor your setup?

That's interesting. I have never seen a TC33 with the lights mounted that way, nor have I seen one with 4 lights. I assumed they were a custom mount, since the base for the old-style bracket is still there. NH is also usually very insistent that the ROPS not be drilled, yet those lights are bolted on through the ROPS.

My TC45DA lights are just like that.

There are two bolts holding each light on and an about 1” hole for the wires to go through.

I missed that Hughman had a DA model.

When I browsed through a bunch of the TC33 and TC33D models for sale, they all looked like mine... and more than half of them were missing their lights.

I'm familiar with them. When I cracked the clutch housing in two on my tractor a few years ago, the dealer wanted $7000 to replace the part with new (and that was "if everything went back together OK"). I found a used part at Long Lane for abut half the price of new and had a local tractor/heavy equipment guy do the repair. He charged $3000 and did a few other things while he was at it at no extra charge.
