There should be a half inch or so hole in the hood and front shroud where they overlap, maybe 4 inches down from the top of the hood. The lights mount in these holes. Here is a picture of somebodies CA with lights. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

There should be a hole on each side where the hood and the radiator shroud meet. The lights have a mounting stud that fastens in the hole. ------------- -------------- Roy

The holes thru hood and front shroud are oversized in that one spot to accept a light at each side. Same setup as used on the B and C tractors.

| The original lights have a wire that runs thru the center of the stud that mounts the light to the tractor. The 1/2 inch hole should be a threaded insert to screw the headlight into the radiator shrould. Cal in Ct. |

Yep, the lights thread into the radiator shroud and there are a couple holes with rubber grommits in them for the wires to pass through. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."
