Default Show off your lights
This is a request for anyone who has installed a rear light (white) on a cub cadet, independent of the OEM lights. I'm considering one for my 147 and would like some ideas on how you mounted yours. Yes I have done a search and found this thread: http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ght=rear+light and was trying to see if there was any different styles besides this one.

Thanks

I tucked an LED light up under the pan shining down to use when pushing snow. Made a bracket and bolted it between the pan and the frame. Cant even tell it is there unless you look under the pan or it is on. When I get back out to it, Ill post a picture

Here's one on my 129/149. Mounted it using existing holes in the frame. I think the holes are for a spring assist.

Nice! I like a lot! Just wondering how you keep from draining the battery running that many lights. Most of the charging systems on these tractors are 15 amps. If those are 35 watt seal beams that's aprox. 17.5 amps worth of lights. Am I missing something? Are those L.E.D. lights?

No, not LED. And you are correct, they usually are 15A. My engine has been replaced with a M18 and I think it must have the 20A charging system on it. I put the lights on before I knew the charging system was only supposed to be 15A. I put them on 10yrs ago, and haven't had any charging problems I have checked the charging system with all the lights and PTO on and it just does make 12V.... Like 12.3-12.6. I don't care, I like them.

Haha yea but the occasional time it gets caught out after dark another light to help me reverse can't hurt.

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.
