Replacing Gc1700 series rear lights

"Also the rops only has one position all the way down. Their is no 3/4 latch to stop it from folding in half."

Ookla-- here's what I made to hold my ROPS in a roughly half-way position; I found I couldn't use my 3PH tiller with the ROPS down, but as my garden is very small --and on level ground-- I prefer not to have the ROPS up. (Also keeps me from forgetting to put the $#@ thing back down before trying to back into the garage to remove the tiller!! :ashamed

I made two, using 3/16 steel bar stock, and purchased two additional pins to fit. They essentially extend the distance between the ROPS locking holes, holding the ROPS in an angled position-- just enough for the tiller to clear when it's raised. The notch I had to cut out is for clearance on the edge of the stationary portion of the ROPS.

Yeah, I'm reminded of the old aviation adage: RTFCL!!

Just completed the real repair to one of my garage doors last week, the result of the aforementioned "incident" of a few years ago; the temporary fix finally gave out. Had re-locate two hinges…

Curiosity is killing me slowly... Please elaborate on your acronym.

Finished both sides of lights. Really, really bright. If anyone needs help with the wiring just let me know. ,

Has anyone priced a Massey replacement? I need one but when asking for the cost he said "You don't wanna know."

115 bucks.

I'm considering whether to do it or not, cause I hit the same one again, ripped it off, plus ripped out a wire.

Would you mind sharing where you ordered the lights, and how wiring and attaching works? I'm liking this idea a lot.
