non stock headlight mounting - 104
 

I hate to drill into this thing but its no where near perfect. I plan to use it for snow duty this winter and then do a "refresh" type restore to it (fix mechanical stuff and give it a coat of paint. Not going crazy with it as it will be a worker)

That being said, most of my plowing will be after work in the dark. I am going to need some sort of headlights. I was just wondering if anyone had pictures of how they mounted aftermarket lights onto their narrow frame cub.

Thanks,

Jeff

Dad put some on his 125 years ago, because he needed to mow when he got home from work, and sometimes that went into dusk.

He went right into where the headlights would go on any other CC of that model.

Here is a pic of it before:

and with the lights

As far as I know he used the same set up that should go on a comparable CC of that kind. They are the same as what is on my 147 and they both work great.

This is how it was done on a tractor I bought, two pieces of flat stock with holes drilled in each end, bent in a U and then bolted between the hood and grill.

I like the u bracket idea. I will have to rig something up like that. Not sure why they used those rectangular lights though. Round ones would look much better but the idea is there.

That looks tacky at first, but it's actually a great idea in so much as if you don't like it you can remove it- it is not permanent.

Just do it. It's your cub do whatever you want. The cub police will not give you a ticket for it.

Looking at those rectangular lights probably do a better job than the ones in the grill?

Nik,

Just looka Evil...

haha, probably wouldn't look so bad if the piece wasn't out of the bottom of the grille--

Here's an idea. Harbour freight sells magnetic stop light with wiring for like $10.00. You can stick them anywhere. Just adapt headlights to them.

Kinda like Mad Max look to it
