on the bulb you would have a common terminal, and a terminal going to the lo beam filament, one going to hi beam filament. you could check for continuity with a meter first, or put 12 volts across any 2 terminals. It wont short- worst case is both elements lighting dimly.

Three terminal head lamps were never offered by IH. This would be an aftermarket modification made by someone.

How about a SPDT switch? One side Low, other Hi. Just have to run an extra wire for the Hi side.

worked on the lights today. Believe it or not they work high n low. I wired them up using a stock switch. To play with the high n low I just switch the wires around. The first pic is high ,second is dim . Hard to tell the diff in the pics.

What wattage are those lights? The high-beam setting may be more than what the S/G can keep up with.

I'm not sure I'll look later. I'm not to worried though they are mostly for show . I don't do much at night. So they prob won't see much use.

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.
