Default 1512 LED headlight conversion
I been a lurking member on this site for a while. I got tired of the poor head lights on my 1512, the very narrow beam. Also that the alternator can't keep up with the PTO on and the headlights and my battery runs down. So I started watching ebay for some of these Grote LED tractor direct replacement head lights. Well snow plowing is so much better.

Nice work, they look great!

Something tells me they may just be a masking an electrical problem. Your alt should have no trouble keeping up with the pto and stock headlights. Sorry to be a downer.

Your right Bill. Plus, that may also be the reason they weren't very bright. The stock headlights are actually very bright. They are the same lamps that their "bigger brothers" used.

The LED's look good. Nice job! I'm on the bandwagon with the others. My diesels, as well as gas cubs, run fine with the PTO and lights engaged. The lights burn nice for me, so I'd do a diagnostic check of the charging system. Did the stock lights burn brighter at WOT, or dim the whole time?

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.
