Crooked lights make me crazy... The sad thing is that everyone here knows that it doesn't take much to make me crazy anyway.

I was bringing home a Cub one time that had a crooked light in it, seeing it in the mirror made me nuts, so I had to stop on the way home and fix it.

I also have one Cub that had one headlight that would spin, I tried the hoze clamp trick but the clamp soon vibrated loose. I then used "contact cement" (gotta clean the glass and the rubber really well first and follow the instructions on the cement container) haven't had any trouble with it since.

Besides it looking funny and bugging the crap out of ya There is another side effect. The lights do not just shine the same amount in each direction. They shine out to the sides more than up and down. I looked up the number of the lights i put in mine last night and it gave a spec on wide and how high they shine. Just a thought. o and it does bother the crap out of me when they are not straight.

Silicon is a mess to remove, you better use weather striping like some have already suggest, I'm testing many option this year among them a set of PAR 36 with replaceable 100W H3 bulb (200W) those are really powerful but I have to power them with a auxiliary battery, the stator can't take it. One of them is moving around like the old sealed halogen use to and yes this is bugging me a lot!

I can but don't glue them because I still need to test a pair of PAR 36 30W Led beam, I already got Roberson base with Led bulb and original Bargman lens for the rear, those look OEM but are a lot more bright.

Anybody replace the rubber holders?
wondering if new fresh ones would be better @ holding the lights?
I see where ccspecialties has a "set" or repos. but don't know if that is
for 2 of them, I would think so, but don't know if that would solve the problem??

If its the rubber holder turning use a long staple to hold it to the grill like I did. If the light bulb its self is turning use some two way tape in the channel between the bulb and rubber holder. I'm going on two years now with straight lights.

kostendorf -that's how my problem started tractor was covered in my barn. When I took off cover right light was popped out off screen. I put it back in and straightened screen best I could, put in grommet and didn't want the grommet to pop out So I used an idea I saw on this forum I cant remember who posted about the wire thru the grommet it could have been you. I saw your picture after that fact on this thread but it does work for holding grommet to the screen.

Well I used Jons idea using auto weatherstrip adhesive,Jon when you first posted that I thought you meant door weather adhesive strips for home,that was my mistake. Anyway I bought 3m super weatherstrip adhesive, in black,Wish I would have known that it wasn't just in yellow a while ago restoring my new Yorker .Any way that stuff is stringy ,kinda like hot mozzarella cheese,after getting that stuff all over my hands and beer can and a little on the light and grommet the job was done.Let it sit a day, ran it for about 10 minutes and holds great so far. Waiting for a big snow and heatin this baby up.Only time will tell.
By the way my lights are 1/ge 4411 and1/wagner 4411 are these ok [ looked them up manual says they are correct#]
Sorry about the long post
Thanks guys .....Hank

All PAR36 are 4.5 inch beam, OEM one on the Cub are PAR36 4411 12V 35W screw terminal unit. Here a link to help you find substitute.

PS: to find the diameter of a beam just divide his PAR number by 8.

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.
