Broken Turn Signal Light need Guard BX24

[lowboy]

Has anyone broken off their ligth on the back corner mowing too close to trees or brush I've done it twice. Has anyone come up with a guard or does someone sell a guard for this turn signal 4way light????? PS I will send more detail pictures of the fender brackets and the way its mounts

I broke the lens out of the turn light on my bx23. Dealer won't sell just the lens. You gotta buy a whole new light at $17 each. That's nonsense. I went to my local truck parts dealer and bought a generic light that looks exactly like the Kubota light for $5. I can buy lenses for the new light for $1.50 each. I sugest changing out the Kubota lights like I did.

Look in some Jeep accessorie catalog you may be able to modifie a guard for a Jeep Taillight...

Kept happening over and over. I never drive the BX down the road, so I just have the light bulbs dangling. I figure why replace them if I never use them.

When I owned by BX2200 I broke the dang lights multiple times!!! I gave up replacing them as I do not do any road travel. I replaced them before I sold it and purchased them from TSC as they carry them in stock and are like 5 bucks. I have lost the lenses off my B7510 but these I can not find at TSC! I guess I will just live without the lense as they stick out too far and get knocked off when I am in the woods doing work! I have come to a realization that tractors and rear lights do not go together too well!!!!

My mom went out bush-hogging on my Deere 4500 a few years ago and successfully broke 3 out of 4 of the turn signal lenses. Luckily they were replaceable, unfortunately they were $25 for rear lenses, $13 for fronts. She found a suet cake feeder fit over them just right and provides SOME protection. I don't recall which one but one tractor manufacturer had break-away turn signals/tail lights I saw at a farm show for their compact/utility tractors.

Good Luck!!!

Thanks Ron. Do you know of that $1.50 lens will actually fit on the original Kubota turn light?

No, it will not fit the original light.

Last year on my first mowing a branch tore one turn signal apart. Later when I found the lens piece, I was able to snap it back together. I just took nylon ties and tied them around the signal lights. they have been scuffed many times since but they're still there.

I could fabricate something light weight in steel or aluminum that should protect the light against branches and some other lite hits I was thinking of building them for myself as i have lost the same lite to branches and would like to keep my tractor looking nice. if any of you guys are interested let me know
