IH did have several accessories that are way cooler than gauges or cigarette lighters.

If you want to cool it up, add a three point hitch, spring assist, headlights/tail light, sleeve hitch adapter, hydraulic lift, fenders and a rear pto.

Pretty sure a lighter was (at best) an aftermarket dealer add on.

If you really feel the need to power a hand held spotlight, charge your phone or really need a USB point on your 73, I would just suggest that you go to wal-fart and get a "power point" and put some alligator clips on it so you can attach it to your battery when the need arises.

You will get many more Oooh's and Ahhhh's at a tractor show with a nice clean crisp plain Jane 73 than you ever would with one sporting fuzzy dice, curb feelers ground straps and a raccoon tail.
So I want get fussed at for adding headlights to my Original???
