I looked at these earlier and decided they were just too expensive. I would rather spend the money to get a more modern LED lighting system in a new light housing that will take less power to operate. This is not a tractor restoration for show. This is an actual in-use farm used tractor with the original paint. I don't really mind what it looks like if it is functional and lasts a long time without needing repair. I know I am using some awful old equipment but its easy to use and all the kids have grown up mowing and hauling firewood out of the woods with it. And enjoy coming back and mowing grass again! But my wife thinks we need to get rid of it and get a new zero-turn mower.

How about another light bulb question ;
Has anybody ever tried to install a #4511 bulb , with a TM gasket ( stock number EL594 ) all into an early " tear drop" shell housing ? I think it would work , but I would hate to order the gaskets from TM , and things won't fit together as planed ! Lee Petrie, Joliet, IL.
