Seems more difficult than it should be

[Jeep Guy]

Hello Everyone

I got myself a couple of worklights for my Massey Ferguson 135, with the intention of hooking these up to the rear fenders to make it easier to see where I was going when I am removing snow at nights, which on weekdays is always at night. I thought that there would be an reasonably easy to find part that you could pick up at either a AGCO or another site but haven't come across anything that to me looks like what would be on an original fender to mount the worklights. I have attached a picture of the backend of my tractor with the snow blower, the worklights that I bought and what I think is the part on the fender that I think I am looking for that has a light attached to it. Anyone bought something similar or set something up and has a recommendation. Just going to do a quick wiring up to the light switch or so I thought for now and clean up the wiring a little more in the spring when its warmer out.

Great site, always find people very helpful and have a lot of great ideas.

I think you have it all figured out. I noticed how shiney the fender is, was that just for the photo shoot. Depending on how good the fender ground is you might want ot carry the neg back also.

I installed red tail lights/flashers and LED fog lamps to help while removing snow, to be seen and for seeing what I was doing. (My road turns onto a fairly busy street). Fabricated the brackets myself so I could locate the lights where I needed them to make sure they weren't blocked by the back blade.

If I understand your post correctly, you have a light like the one pictured, but not the bracket? Looks fairly simple to make from 1" wide steel flat stock. Mock it up with strips of cardboard first. Make your bends with a vise, drill holes where needed, grind the corners smooth and paint.
And I agree totally with Craig regarding wiring a ground wire, I have never had a fog light or driving light that worked well with just the mount as the ground.

I have mounted a set of lights on the blower itself. That worked very well. Just put on a set of rubber,35watt tractor lights, separate switch.

I use to have a MF180. Miss that tractor alot.

Thanks, has since been re-introduced to the manure pile and scratched up a bit from working in the woods, thought I'd better take a few pics for memory sake. :thumbsup:
