Default New Headlights with improvisng

I thought I'd share this with you guys. I got a set of headlights that were for the 70/100 Cubs and I thought I'd make it fit in my 125 tractor.

Some little improvising and with the help of my dad (he's got the machinist lathe) we made a set of brackets and threaded spacers to bolt in the headlights the same way the cover plate bolts into the tractor grill housing.

The headlights fit onto the tractor perfectly! I haven't wired this to the tractor yet, but I will as soon as I figure out where the damn switch should go! Anybody?

I suppose I should wash the tractor!

There is a hole on the left side of the dash tower that is made for the switch.
Nice looking 125 when did you get it?

The lights look factory very nice job on them. Everyone's input on where the switch goes is spot on.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
