Just an old pioneer I pulled out of a car in our scrap yard.
I'm so jealous of you having your own junkyard. Wife won't let me have one. I took my stereo out. Didn't use it anyways lol.

Yes...I have to say I'm spoiled. Growing up I never thought about it much. Me and my friends would go play in the mud , break a couple axles or tear up this and that. I just walked over to the field and started digging around..usually had the parts on hand.

I got these for Christmas and finally got around to looking at how I would install them. Did you take out both bolts and only put one back in? And how did you get the bolts through the light brackets? Cut the hole out with something?
No... Both bolts are still in the ROPS bracket. That is an important structure that you don't want to compromise. I used a cone shaped burr bit in a drill to open up the light bracket enough to get the bolt through

Yeah I didn't think that was a good idea but thought you might have since they fit so flush. Trying to find the best way to cut the hole bigger. I don't have a bit like that but I'll figure out something. Thanks for the help.

Round file or a chainsaw file would do the trick too.
