Cigarette lighter
 

I have a 127 with an open hole in the upper right of the dash. I was told it's for a cig lighter. Apparently, this was an option back then. I would like an IH lighter to fill this hole.
Anyone have one available with everything to make it properly function?
Contact me here, in this thread or by pm or email.

Thanks,

This one came off a 127.Looks like it was never used.
works, but pricy.

Is it yours, or did you find it somewhere?
How much is it?

Kind of rare as chicken teeth.:biggrin2:

What do you mean? I have lots of chicken teeth!
Can I get a "Lew" price on it?

Looks like something you can get at the parts store.

The black part with the cog pic looks rather newer. The rest of it looks old.

Ummmm........

If you want one that looks "original" it's the one on the top row, middle.

Sorry Lew, not trying to cut you out of a sale.....

So I see where it is more modern on the lighter itself but I guess it would be cheaper to get one off the sites jmech posted.

that hole is for the elift option BTW

Thanks for the replies.

So, best to leave it open then? I have no desire to get an electric lift. Just tired of looking at an open hole. I'm not sure of the name, but I have one of those chrome looking electric plugs, with the serrated edges on the bottom, but it's slightly too big. I'm not modding my dash to make something fit.

Our local hardware store has an assortment of those chrome things in various sizes. Measure the hole and check to see if there is a size made.

Good idea, Todd! Technically it is a cigar/stogie lighter.

Larry the lighter idea look pretty handy, if you use the 127 in winter for snow moving you can plug a heat pad in it to keep your butt warm and comfy :ThumbsUp:

I was blessed with one of them there lighters on my 149. Kinda handy if you are out some night on the CUB and wanna spotlight!:beerchug:

You can get a chrome plug from cubcadet.com or I think I bought a new one for my cub from Cub Classics. Follow the link at the top of the page and give Chris a call. Nice way to take care of a hole.

With a spotlight plug in the 149 and a Glock, I doubt you mist that burglar Steve :beerchug:

Thanks everyone. My Want To Buy thread turned into something informative. I'd rather use the hole for something useful, but if it didn't come with a lighter, I prob won't install one. I like my manual lift, so I won't be installing an electric lift.

If your a smoker or you can use the socket for something useful I'd put it in, sometimes l wish I had one because its hard to get my lighter out of my pocket when I'm mowing.

They make "knock out plugs" in a variety of sizes and finishes.

This is a true statement LOL!!!!

I have one. Came in the "169" I just bought.
Name your own price and it's yours.
Don't know if it works.

Oh but the graphic is not the same as what Lew posted.

Nor are the new ones that JMech posted.

And if the wires do not have the same strand count, points get deducted for that too.

I'll pass. Thank you anyway. I'm probably going to go with a plug.

I do smoke, but since I'm having a very hard time breathing lately and coughing so much, I'm quitting. I'd rather breathe easier.

Good luck and I hope you are successful with your quitting, I need to quit also but as so many smokers know its not something thats walked away from easily.:beerchug:

amen to that...I don't smoke but I chew and I have found the less things to remind me of it the better. So having a lighter would be a constant reminder. I have been thinking about removing the lighter on mine and using that hole for a switch to control Auxillary lights when I am plowing.

Hey guys..... the parts book shows the hole is for a lighter.
But it is also where the switch for the electric lift went. What would you do if you wanted both? :bigthink:

That is so true. I too smoke, and should quit. But honestly, I just don't want to! I actually like to smoke.....


FWIW, in the links I posted. The first link, the lighter in the center, top row, is the only style lighter I have ever seen on IH equipment. There may have been another one they used on older stuff, but I recently saw an older tractor that still had the lighter and it was that one.

Maybe use the headlight switch hole if you wanted both and didn't have lights?
Looks like I'll be ordering a cig lighter.

I too, enjoy smoking. But, I just can't breathe. If I'm laughing at something, boy it hurts bad and I have to stop laughing. If I talk for too long, my chest hurts and my voice changes and I get very short of breath. I'm not having much luck right now, but for the most part, I have one after I eat, which as you know is the most satisfying.

Sounds to me like we need a stop smoking thread...

I'm game for that:bash::bash2::beatdeadhorse:

Not at all sure how it would work, but I would participate...

Are you trying to quit? ......... :bigthink:

Maybe go to electronic smoke
 

I know one lady who quit smoking cigarettes by switching to the electronic smoking devices for a while then quit that.She still is a non smoker a year later.My wife loves smoking,been at it for 40 plus years but it has effected her life.

I've tried everything but the hypnosis thing where they prick your ear. My wife does not want to quit and as soon as I smell one I want one. The electronic one does work but I find myself cheating when I see my wifes cigarettes laying on the table.

I'll tell you all this. I don't know how old you smokers are. I'm 34. My cousin who is 47 has lung cancer and was given 18 months to live. That opened my eyes to quitting. I guess because he's a family member. His brother, my other cousin who was a sheriff in Marshall,MO died of throat cancer at roughly the same age. Left behind a wife and kids.
I'm already coughing my butt off when I'm not having one. Can't walk up the stairs in my house without being out of breathe. I'd say weight would have something to do with heavy breathing, but I'm 190lbs.
Plus, I got news from my wife that she's got a kid cooking in the oven. So, one way or another, I'm quitting. And she will too. Figure I need to be around for a good while to raise my boy <(hope it is anyway).
We can all find good reasons to quit, but the main one is our own health. And yes, I enjoy smoking.

I find the whole "smoking will kill you debate" interesting. Not going to say it's good for you. I've smoked regularly for over 10 years. (Was an occasional smoker before that. Cigars, socially, and when drinking kind of thing.) I've known plenty of people who died well into their 80's and 90's who had smoked since they were early teens. I really think it makes a difference how active you are. I'm not overweight, and I work pretty hard. I don't exercise or work out, unless you consider gardening, farming, and just all around manual labor exercise. But, I have been to a doctor in recent years, I had 99% oxygen saturation in my blood and no heart problems at all. All around healthy. The doc said my oxygen level was outstanding period. Say's he see's non-smokers that don't score that high. So, be that as it may..... it's not a good reason to keep doing it, but at this point I am suffering no ill effects and I'm gonna keep doing it. FWIW, there are a lot of other things that are (IMHO) just as bad or worse for you. Aspartame, lots of pop/soda, food preservatives, lack of exercise are just a few that come to mind.

*Rant over~ :beerchug:

Smoke em' if you got them.
There is a joke about smoking and sex but I can't say it here...

I look a little closer at the lighter, the base has a date of 1971, the other thingy is made in Japan.


Now back to smoking.

How much for your half American, half jap cig lighter?
