Default Head Lights for a 125

if I put lights in my 125 , do I need to change the cast iron grill?
and for the wiring should I just find a harness for light.

listing of 2 , 1 has a mount between the lights.

No, that piece on the first one is the voltage regulator bracket that's on every grille casting.

No need to change the grill out, just get a light set, they will bolt up where the blank cover bolts up to ( the four little 1/4" bolts near the hood bolts). Ive done the wiring on mine "homemade", used a toggle switch and ran the wires along the wiring harness. I put the toggle switch where the lighter would go in the dash, that way I didn't have to drill any holes. Works great

There is a wire in the harness already for lights.It is the color purple.One end should be at the v/r taped to the harness and the other is in the dash tower taped to the other end of the harness.there is a 3/4" hole on the left side of the dash tower for the switch.It is there to protect it from elements.

I used a pull switch ( similar to factory ) that I purchased at Auto Zone. The hole is already drilled in the dash ( left side when you're sitting ) and I made up my own wiring.

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.
