Ideas for fastening strobe light to tractor roof

[Rustyiron]

On the top of the back of the cab (that's a mouthful)
where the challenger decal is just might be where they'd mount a license plate in Europe. If you're lucky there might be some type of threaded hole provided from the factory. If you're that lucky you could make a mount of some sort and keep it as low as possible.
If you got a pair of mini strobes, the mirror arms look like a good option also.

I would take some conduit and mount the light on top and then fasten it with a u-bolt to something like the grab bar or something. You then can make it whatever height you need. And take it off. Could just put alligator clips on for leads to make it very simple.

Honestly I Would cut the rubber spacers down till they were flush with the power wire, then use a product like geocell and glue it to the roof with a caulk gun.

I like stunblinhorses idea but make it a telescoping mount....

Contact cement will stick to rubber. Glue the Velcro to the rubber with contact cement and use the glue backing to stick the other side to the roof plastic.

I wouldn't put any penetrations in my roof because ive seen that work out so well. I'd get on one of the steel corner posts, probably bolt holes already there.

Thinking out loud again and taking stumblinhorse's suggestion a little further. Mount a hinge on the lower lip of the roof in way of the "Challenger" decal (holes would let water drain from inside roof); weld an "L" shaped bracket to the hinge so the strobe would sit atop the roof but could be swung down. A suitable ring welded near the angle of the "L" could allow movement of the bracket with a pole like a boat hook or an iron rake. This would work until you came back tired and forgot about the light, but you might be able to fabricate some leading curved piece of metal that would flip the bracket down when you drove under the door lintel, or perhaps some hanging alarm to alert the operator.

I caulked a 4x4x.5 inch flat steel to the Gator roof with a product called Lexel that I bought at Ace Hardware. It says it will stick to almost anything, waterproof, mildew resistant and paintable. So I gave it a try.

I stuck my magnet base beacon light on the flat steel and plugged the power cord in. What was just a "temporary" setup has been there for two years now.

That's a bad machine, mount that dude wherever you want.
