Left Turn Signal TRACTORS Accessories 21-2-37 We've had some close calls from motorists passing our tractors as we were attempting to make left turns. The problem seems as bad with our newer tractors equipped with turn signals as it is with our older tractors that aren't.
To avoid a potential tragedy, we built a left turn signal that's impossible to miss. It works so well, we plan to equip our eight other tractors with them as well.
We built a 12 by 13-in. steel box and in-stalled a flashing light inside. We painted a bright yellow arrow on the box's Plexiglass cover and attached a bight yellow Gempler warning sign on top. We mounted the assembly on the left fender of our International 706 and a flasher control and toggle switch on the dashboard. We also installed a small red light on the dash to remind us when the signal light is turned on. When the light is turned on, it's virtually impossible to miss from behind.
Cost was only $25, a small price to pay for the safety it provides. (Arvin De Cook, 9658 Hwy. F 62E, Sully, Iowa 50251; ph 515 594-3438).
