I used a couple of plastic closet flange rings from the local hardware store, marked and cut them for retaining rings, made a new panel from .040" aluminum with 4-1/8" holes for the #4111 headlamps to fit into, and this is how it looks now...

I'm curious to see if those melt or not, seeing as how they are pretty close to the muffler.

Did you use Johnny bolts to mount the rings for the bulbs?

I'm kinda wondering about that as well. If so, I might add a piece of the high-temp insulation that we use at work between the rings and the heatshield.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

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.
