Default 1450 headlight panel support?
I got a 1450, the headlights are mounted in a perforated grill, while running the lights bounce all over the place, from what I can tell the only way they are attached to the tractor is the three hinge bolts on the bottom and a spring retainer on the top, is there suppose to be something else? seems cheesy and not the IH way? I dont have another 1450 to look at to see, My other cub is a 149.

I had read where Steve59 has fixed this issue with a headlight clamp. I have sent him a PM asking him to come to this thread and share the details, and hopefully some pictures, of how he fixed it.

Default Head Light Clamps
Guys, What I did was cut a conduit clamp in half and attach them to the hood hinge bolts. I also added a couple of short strips of 100mph duct tape. This stopped my headlights from rolling.

That looks like a really good idea there Steve. Thanks for posting that. My 1450 also "rolls it's eyes" when I run it.

Default lights
When I assembled mine had the same situation ... so within the groove that the light sits in I wound three wraps of twin ... it tightened up the light and also where the rubber mates with the screen ... its been 4 months now and all is good. Nothing showing either.

cheers, Bryan

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.
