Rear light
Thanks to all of your help with my questions on rear light set ups. I was able to get one to work on my 147.
  Quick connect so I can remove it in the non-snow pushing seasons.  I was happy that it mounted nicely here.  The good: -I already had the wire. Did not need to purchase that. -It worked the first time. -It was a relatively inexpensive buy. All the parts I purchased locally. -I did not have to do any extensive modifications to where the light mounted. -I am pleased with where the light is mounted. -I multi-purposed the e-lift location for the switch. -The light's negative terminal wire is grounded directly to the mount the light is on. The bad: -Running the wire along the frame rail and through the dash was a slight PITA. -Install of the switch because of its location was frustrating. -The negative terminal cable end corroded off and I had to cut the cable back and install another one in the process of hooking up the rear light. (I wired it straight to the battery and is wired separately of the main wiring harness.) The ugly: -I destroyed three switches trying to find one that worked. All in all I'm pleased and I think it'll really help come the dark winter months seeing while going in reverse.

Well there drglinski, Looks like you better get some electrical tape on that "Quick Disconect" before you end up with a Quick Electrical Fire!

Ya know, I have thunk about something like this before and have concluded.
If you had a spare (working) neutral safety or front PTO safety switch and the flat spring actuator. You could mount the flat spring on the hydro linkage, build a bracket to hold the switch in the proper location, then when you pull the forward/reverse lever back (to go backwards) it would turn the rear light on for you. It would probably be easier to do on a Wide Frame tractor than a Narrow Frame, but I feel quite confident that it could be done. Glad to hear that you got all hooked up.

Yeah I really didn't like it being so close to the spring for that same reason, but the only other option I saw was to run it on the right side, and there is a lift bar there that would wear on it. I'm not too concerned about the wire where it is right now. The only way it could short is when there is power running to it, and that's only when the switch is on. Plus I have a fuse on the line.
As far as the quick connect goes; I'll likely get an insulated one and switch it out. Thanks for pointing that out.

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.
