While browsing the local scrapyard for fun bought some short drops of stainless steel tubing.

Back home cut some 2” rings of 5.5” OD, 1/8” wall tubing. Drilled a 1/2” hole for the lamp bolt. TSC has these lamps for $7. Had to slightly oval the hole and temporarily removed one lens for the lamp to be inserted. Maybe end up slotting the hole to one side so don’t have to remove lamp to install. Hammered a slight flat spot at the hole. Sanded the ring to give a bright finish. Much easier than painting.

Loose hazard lights particularly on the right side when bush hogging. Grape vines love to take souvenirs.

May tack on some SS expand metal to one side for better protection.

The B26 has two bulb oval hazard lights. A nylon wire tie around the lamp helps popping off a lens when brushing against brush. Picked up a few pieces of larger diameter SS tubing to maybe try something similar. Bend the tube into a ovalish shape.

Paul Short make nice light guards too.
