Seems to be a discontinued item now. It's a great work light or can be used as the side front headlights on the older Tree Frog YM1300 and YM1500 or YM1700 and YM2000 machines.

@KubotainNH replied in the HF tools that are good, something very close and the price is very reasonable. The only difference is, 55W is now 35W in light output.

Still, 35W would cover everything one would need in a rear post mount work light as it's still brighter than a vehicles' reverse lights at night.

35-Watt Halogen Post Mount Work Light With Rubber Housing

This is not a replaceable bulb type, it is a full sealed beam unit.

I'll miss the HF original for any future projects. I like keeping the authentic look to our machines. The HF type did just that.

LEDs tend to cause strange shadows at night, livestock becomes spooked enough to jump up and run-off in a stampede. I cannot afford to keep fixing or mending fences, especially at night in the winter!

If anyone finds a type with a halogen bulb replacement, please reply here. Ideally ROUND housing is best for the YM machines and early F/FX, later machines used the square housing.
