Ford 971 with One Arm loader

davh55 · Feb 12, 2019

Checking to see if anyone has ideas for lights on my 971 with a one arm loader. The Ford lights stick out just too far and had to be taken off. I'm not having luck so far finding lights that will work. Any thoughts?

In front of the radiator, top of the fenders?

Up front where the original lights were located. Didn't know what light to use that will fit. Wanted something close to the original power or better that the arm of the loader will miss.

As Steve noted, top of the rear fenders is good location. Someone outfitted my Massey with a loader and put two LED lights on the fenders. Provides plenty of forward vision, very bright.

The loader would be factor on the left side with a light on the fender, that is why I was looking for a smaller powerful light at the front. I will look and check it out but I think the loader will block the light.

I bought some of the cheapo led flood lights off of ebay, they put out a good amount of light. Think they may be
smaller than your original lights, may work for you.

The link is just the first ones I came across

Wait...is the 971 6 volt?
ebay lights

It is 12 volt. I have looked at lights on Ebay and other sites but not sure they are small enough to fit. The loader arm rubs the Ford light and it is only 5 1/2 in out from the sheet metal housing. Most of the lights I found were similar. The smaller lights didn't seem powerful enough. This is what I'm thinking.
