After doing some reading I have noticed some people mention that the MTD 8/26 has a light hookup spot. Where will I find this? How do I know if mine has it? Does it have both ground and power wires?

Thanks!

Light

On the engines I've had, if there was provisions for a light then there were extra magnets on the flywheel and a different stator on the motor.

They can be added but you're talking retiming the engine when you replace the stator (DAMHIK). Not for the faint of heart.

The only trouble with leds is that they do not produce to much heat so snow sticks to them. I have led warning lights on my plow trucks and when it's snowing hard the snow sticks to them. Other than that I love leds I even have them in my house.

Take your 55 watt bulb out of you your light after you try it first (it may work) Your local dealer should have a bulb that should fit your light or auto part store. The led will work but if you get a lot of blowed snow on the light it won't be as bright. I think that is main reason no new snow blowers have them and they cost more too.
