OD Work Lights

[steelandcanvas]

Found a couple of OD work lights on eBay a few months ago I wanted to refurbish and install on the Deuce. Not difficult to do, but since you Guys like pictures so much, I thought I'd share my efforts. The light will turn around 180* for changing a tire at night, I'm going to do the same thing on the passenger side.

If I run across any more, I'll be sure and let you know about them.

They didn't have a date on them Doc, maybe someone else would chime in to answer what the production years were on them. They came as standard equipment on wreckers and bridge trucks.

Good luck with them but the vibration should be a killer out on the mirror arms. Wayne

Didn't think about the vibration....at low idle they move a little, but smooths out at about 800 RPM, which is idle speed for warming up. I'll re-think my mounting if I start going through alot of lamps. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks! It was a few years ago, but I think I got them from Robert Zetzer at Sam Winer Motors for about $130.00 shipped. I've been informed they are bridge truck mirrors, I like 'em.

good idea mounting them there could come in handy

Good luck finding a place on the Deuce that they won't rattle. They must be pretty tuff.

They are 28 volt G.E. lamps specifically made for heavy equipment. I agree Doc, try finding a place that doesn't rattle on a Deuce when the engine's running. I was also thinking about having a canvas bag with a drawstring on the bottom to cover and protect them when not in use. Wow, sometimes I think I have way to much time on my hands.

they were on mv s originally i dont think vibration will be much of a problem.i bet you'll have more head lights blow out before those do

They would look with red bulbs for parades.

I cannot reach them while sitting comfortably in the driver's seat, that's the con. Pros are: with the hood up, a very nice light for those unfortunate nighttime repairs, and will swivel to provide light for changing a tire.

No, that's a good idea and I am going ot do the same when I mount mine.
