With the extra power would also need an upgrade in the wiring to handle the extra amperage. The wiring on your average CC, is rated only for 15A.

You should probably list what model you have. In case electrical math is not your language, that is 180-200 watts. The K-series engines all had 15 amp charging circuits (I think you can get more out of the s/g ones, but I wouldn't swear to it) So, if you are pulling that full 15 amps, you are not going to be able to recharge your battery, and will very likely shorten the life of your stator and regulator due to the constant full load. Offhand I would guess your lightbar as shown is around 130 watts (55-watts for each of the lights and 20 watts for the beacon) Throw in the standard lighting and you are up to a total of roughly 210 watts. To my knowledge no one has found a higher amp stator for the k-series, but you can look into the dynamos they use on kubotas. For self contained alternators you can look into compact alternators and you can get those to at least 65 amps. Just make sure you will be turning the correct direction. Alternators will develop the same amount of power spun either way, but the will not cool properly if spun the wrong way. No, you cannot change the direction of the fan, it is internal, and there is no way to flip it.

If you did get that extra power off the engine could you just run the light bar off of that? Then no wiring issues and you could still have your main headlights work normal so you have light when the engine is not running.

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.
