Broken Turn Signal Light need Guard BX24

[DavidAubke]

I've tagged several trees with the signal lights on my '08 BX2350. Each time the assembly has bent back and blown apart leaving the lenses from both sides laying on the ground. So far, nothing has actually broken. The lenses snap right back in and you're on your way.

Once I didn't immediately notice it had happened and had to backtrack through the woods until I found the lens. Also, I guess I've been lucky in that the lenses have never gone under the mower after falling off.

I know this doesn't help the OP but, after the third incident I've decided that those signals were specifically engineered to take a hit and fall apart without breaking. I find it interesting that it isn't working that way for others. Maybe it's a different design.

I'm tempted to do the same thing with my BX24 turn signals and reflector triangle that I do with the 1/2" socket whenever I get a new tool set. I just throw it into the bushes, since I'm going to lose it in the first few days anyway

I've lost count of the times the turn sigs have popped apart on tree branches and brush.

I lost a turn signal lens and couldn't find a replacement lens. Found a set of trailer magnetic lights at HarborFreight P/N 96933. Set has two red and two amber lenses and they fit the Kubota BX2230 perfect. Lucky for me the $29.95 set was on sale with a magazine coupon for $9.95....New guy...Bern

I did the same as Bandon, just put tie-wraps around them and I haven't lost a lens since. Also, watch out for side bruch.
