Default Farmall light switch in a cub
So, I'm planning on putting a 3 position switch in my 1250, would a switch from a farmall 560 work? Isn't it Low beams, High beams, and rear light? I would like to put a front and rear worklight in and wire it up to not always be on.

Any switch will work if wired properly.

Are you trying to hook up lights other than headlights/taillights? Otherwise, just a simple on-off switch will do.

I want low beams, high beams, and worklights. I want either a 3 or 4 postion switch, if I can't find anything I'll just go with an Off-onA-onB switch.

Honestly I would keep head lights and "work lights" on separate switches. One on/off for work lights one on/off/on for high beam and low beam head lights

Just an observation, you seem to be into more projects than I can count.
(https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/...archid=1117007)
May I suggest that you finish one project before starting another.

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.
