Rear flood light

[hazmat]

I added a rear flood light to my tractor last night. Picked it up at the dealer while I was getting my tire fixed. Speaker brand 50W halogen flood w/ replacable sealed beam. It even had a built in switch. Also had two wires, ground & hot. Nice if you are mounting to plastic. Cost $30

New holland ran a wire to the ROPS that is hot with the headlight switch. I picked up power there. Very nice because the headlight switch on comes on w/ the ignition. More idiot proof as far as running down the battery. Bolted the light on the rear part of the starboard fender.

The light Works great. Should come in very handy this winter when plowing snow with my rear blade. Only downside is that that part of the fender is plastic & pretty flimsy, The light vibrates a bit. Might need to reinforce it with some sheet metal.

I'll try to snap a pic this evening. My cheap-o dig camera doesn't have a flash.

New Holland makes a bracket to mount those lights right on the Rops. Here is a <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.tractorbynet.com/cgi-bin/compact/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=custom&Number=114362&page=&view=&sb=&o=&vc=1>link</A> to a thread where I talked about installing my two auxilliary lights.

I'm sure I could have found a more desirable location for the lights but I didn't want to drill into the plastic on my TC33D.

Spencer,

Thanks for the info. I kind of remembered your post & asked the salesman about a New Holland light to fit the TC18. He said New Holland didn't make a light. I didn't ask for a bracket! This was more of an impulse buy while I was waiting for the tire to be fixed. If I had researched it better I would have printed out your pics to show the dealer.

Do you have a part number? I'm not sure if it will work on the class 1 boomer as my flashers are mounted differently than yours.

One benfit of my placement is it is below the folding ROPS/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif. I am concerned about the flimsy plastic.

To my knowledge NH does not make a light but they do supply the Speaker brand to be used on their tractors.

The bracket part number was 86531714 and cost me 16.50

Good Luck

Spencer. Thanks for the p/n I'll give my dealer a call.

Well I called my dealer. Spencer's part number is for the Class II Boomers. They did find one for my tractor.

SBA355761281 $9 delivered to my house (I think the shipping was as much as the part). Should be in on monday, I'll let you guys know how it works.

I mounted two lights on my fold down rops. This would work for any brand tractor. Here's a picture.
