I'm looking for a set of headlights that mount on either side of the cowl, and a "speed up" pulley for my triple blade mower deck.

Yes, it's for the 104. I didn't know there was a grill plate with lights that replaces the blank panel. I ~do~ like the IH logo on there, but hopefully the light panel you mention has it.Assuming this is for the 104 you posted about in another thread, there is no 'speed-up' pulley available for that particular deck, and why not the OEM light panel that bolts in place of the blank plate in the grille?
So this: center deck pulleyAssuming this is for the 104 you posted about in another thread, there is no 'speed-up' pulley available for that particular deck, and why not the OEM light panel that bolts in place of the blank plate in the grille?
Light panel has the IH logo- it looks the same with a GE4411 sealed beam lamp on either side of the IH logo. Looks a lot better than cobbling lights onto it somewhere else.Yes, it's for the 104.

I was almost sure there was a speed up pulley that could be used to replace the ratio reducing center on my 42" 1113 deck. Both pulleys are the same diameter instead of the drive pulley being smaller than the deck pulley. The examples I've seen on eBay don't have the internal bearings or bushings or whatever, but it's listed as a 3 blade mower deck center pulley.
So this: center deck pulley
or this: speed up pulley
-these won't work on my deck?
I was told that a speed up pulley greatly enhances the effectiveness of these mowers.
thanks for the info on the light panel, now I just gotta find one.Light panel has the IH logo- it looks the same with a GE4411 sealed beam lamp on either side of the IH logo. Looks a lot better than cobbling lights onto it somewhere else.
First link is for a later tractor that uses 5/8" belts. That will not work. Second link is for a 44" or 50" deck. That will not work either- the lower pulley is far too small.
The lower pulley that came with your deck is a very large diameter to turn the small blades on the end of the deck considerably faster than the center blade so the tip speed is comparable. If you changed out that pulley with the one in your 2nd link, the center blade would be sped up quite a bit, but the outer blades would turn slower than they do now. As I said before, there is no speed-up pulley for this deck.
