I need a replacement tail light for a D-15 series II and I am wondering first, what was original equipment? What it had recently (until the housing broke Wednesday night) was a 4" diameter flat backed red warning light which I assume is an aftermarket item.  I use this tractor a lot at night for clearing snow and need something on back for my visibility when using the snap coupler blade. Although the broken light was only a red warning light it did give off enough light to iluminate things in back.
In the future I would like to have something more along the lines of a work light. I looked at Fleet Farm and there were two choices for generic lights; would you guys recomend a flood type light or a trapezoidal?
Also, I see on ebay a combination work light and warning light on ebay for JD tractors, but I cannot tell the mounting method (I need a stud on the bottom). After looking futher I see Steiner has one with a stud at the bottom and a selector switch on top, does anybody have one of these?
Part of me would like to still have a warning light as the farm is on a major two lane highway, but I only have room to mount one light and if I can only have one I would prefer a work light. Looking for thoughts and ideas, thanks for the help.

We had a combination light on our D-14 when I was growing up, worked great. Work light / red combo...with the switch on top, single stud mount. ------------- 1945 AllisCletrac / 1948 "B" / 1953 "CA" / 1955 "WD-45" / 1963 "D-15 Series II" "No Air Support without Ground Support" |

Let us know how you make out with it. I need to rewire the lites on my D-15 II and I think im going to add some flashy lites. My rear lite looks ok but I dont know if it works or not. Brian S ------------- God made man.Sam colt made man equal. |
