It's about that time again.
The last guy/gal to post on this page before it rolls over will WIN a FREE 2007 Cub Cadet Calendar!

 

[kmcconaughey]

Charlie, I got one of those, I need a 2008 calendar!

 

[digger]

Ya know, now that you mention it, I've not heard anything about 2008. Hmmmmm

Charlie,
I could use one of those calendars, I think I am last on this page....
I was 1st once this summer with this.
122.

 

[aschumacher]

Vince...is there a reason you installed your headlites at a 45 degree angle? Have seen a few tractors that way. A.

 

[vthomley]

Allen, these lights were on it at this angle when I bought the 122. A previous owner just cut out the Grill panel strip and installed the lights. The head light clamp rings on te back of each light have notches in them to secure the lights. These are at a 45 degree angle causing the lights to be at the same 45 degree angle. Maybe I'll have to take a picture of this tonight.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Vince, the rings are supposed to be at a 45° angle, only tilted the other direction..... In any case you should be able to rotate the lights so they are not tilted.

Here's a photo of my trusty, dusty, rusty #2 125.

Kraig - Yep the rings are suppose to be at a 45 but like he said there are notches for the light to set in. There's glass bumps on the bulb to match the ring.

Vincent - Rotate the clamp ring and see if that does it. I'd have to go dig mine out to see if that would do it but I think it will.

Kraig-
If you wake up to some funny noises coming from your front yard tonight, don't bother checking. It's just me power-washing your cubs!

Eeek!

 

[kweaver]

Kraig - I agree with Art. Here's my dusty 122's light.

 

[aaytay]

How's that workin for ya with only one wire Ken?

 

[kmcconaughey]

Art, KENtucky, I took that photo just before I took the #2 125 apart to fix the PTO. I cleaned it up before I put it back together. I also replaced the old stalk mounted lights and wiring.

...it's still rusty and trusty though....

 

[vthomley]

See I learn something new every day, thanks guys. I will definitely look at it tonight, either before or after the middle school band concert. Hopefully the concert is not too long, you know those Band Teachers/Instructors...

I wonder how much dust there is the back of the lights on mine?

Am I last yet?

 

[kmcconaughey]

Art, I know that the rings have notches in them for the bumps on the bulbs....

 

[kweaver]

Art - I wuz savin juicetricty !
Naw I started to take it out back when I was casting those rings so I figured I needed a pic of it before I took it all loose.

 

[kweaver]

Art - Kraig moved you up in the world ... he confused you with me

I better check the lights on My 982 someday too....Mowing Saturday night they wouldn't light up anything towards the right side of the tractor. I had to run My "Work Lights" all the time after dark. I started mowing about 5 PM, gets pretty dark around 6:30, and I didn't get done till almost 9.

 

[kweaver]

With the lights angled like Vincent's they should trhow a little more light into the center of the view.

 

[vthomley]

Like KENtucky said, I have my lights angled for more light in the center of my view... At plow day in Iowa 1 1/2 years ago they worked for about 1/2 a round! I don't remember trying to turn them on since.

My nephew likes the lights as is, and he knows where the key is...

Nice yellow flowers I have in the multi-colored lawn!

 

[vthomley]

The neighbor kid, who's name is Kohler, said the lights helped him steer down the center of the track.
