This section of the website looks at the lighting aspect of the Ferguson tractor. This is a subject which fascinates me. I have gone to great lengths to try to get hold of factual information about the lights. I am mostly interested in parts for the cylops lighting system fitted to ferguson tractor whose parts are shown below. These consist of a single bonnet mounted headlight, two side lights on swing out arms, a bracket to attach the muberplate to and a bracket to attach a plough lamp to the right hand mudguard plus all the clips, brackets and wires to hold them in place. The kit was supplied by Joseph Lucas and was an optional extra. This kit was replaced in the early 1950's (Ministry otf Transport act 1st October 1952) with a version consisting of two headlights containing sidelights mounted on the side of the bonnet. So why am I particularly interested in this configuration? This is the lighting kit I believe was fitted to my tractor and I have the holes in the bonnet to prove it.

Pough Lamp Bracket
If you would like to have a go at fabricating your own plough lamp bracket you can download a template here. Once downloaded you should print it out on an A4 printer FULL SIZE don't scale the image. There are a couple of dimensions on the drawing to check for scale.
A lovely original example of the bracket with original lamp. I especially like the way the cable is run through the copper tubing.

Fold out side light arms
I bought an original set from eBay. I have seen that Patrick at Fergieland.com is selling a reproduction pair. In the two lower photos you can see the arm folded out then folded in. The arms where able to fold in so the high lift loader if fitted wouldn't chop them off as it reased and lowered. My arms where supplied without the lights on the end of them. |
