Default Rear flood light

My son and I had attached a rear flood light to our previous 1200. Accept it kept draining the battery. Now that we have the 782 we'd like to add the rear flood light to it. What would the proper way be to wire it up and is it possible to have it work only in reverse?

I purchased a 12v utility flood light from tractor supply and attached it to the rear of the tractor. It's a self grounding style.

I replaced one tail light on both my 2084 and EricRs 2086 with one each off road fog light. I got tired of no light when blowing snow in the dark . they seem to work great. We mounted them pointing slightly down but man do they light up to the rear. I got the set at Harbor Freight for about $12.

The 782 had two (2) wiring diagrams, depending on the Chassis Serial Number range (IH or CCC built).

What is your Chassis Serial Number...??

Attached is the hookup diagrams.

You will have to decide on two option.

(A) To wire up independent of tractor lights, connect to the Blue Wire "I" terminal on the Ignition Switch.

(B) To wire up with tractor lights, connect to the Pink Wire "L" terminal on the Ignition Switch.

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.
