I'll chime in and help you guys out. I'm building my own grille and headlight assembly because I'm converting my 1872 to look like a 5488 IH tractor.

I'll be ordering up some of this for the grille mesh material:

Next, I just ordered some Wheel Horse plastic headlight bezels (these use the same universal round sealed beam lights as any older Cub Cadet GT does). This will give the recessed look that I'm going for, just like the big 5488 tractors have. I may have to do some slight trimming, but nothing major. Simply mount them upside down and it should be a nice easy endeavor......fingers crossed. I'll still have to figure out how to keep the headlights mounted against the bezels and grill itself though.

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.
