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?
Even if you have a stator I doubt it would put out enough power for one 55 watt light never mind two.It looks like most blower look to be in 27 watt zone.
^^+1 You might consider a LED bulb. For example mine takes a 27 watt 1156 which is available in low wattage LED versions. Haven't tried a LED, so it may or may not work, just an idea.
My mistake, It's one wire. Your light may still work as the old style lights were incandescent light and they used more power. If not just change the bulb from 55to 27
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.
