I have a B2150 HST and want to replace the yellowed plastic headlights, I can find one but the other is no where to be found. Knowing that I hope to use a newer model total assembly that is an all in one part piece but cannot find any dimensions on them. The opening on my tractor is about 3 3/4” x 17 3/4” W. Any help is appreciated

Would one of those headlight restoring kits for newer cars with plastic headlamps work to clean-up your old lamps?
Check out something like 3M 39008 kit.
You grind/sand off the yellowed plastic,then polish the lens back to clear.
Good Luck!

I don’t have a solution for finding your replacement part…but the yellowed lenses on autos, etc. these days is a common problem ….the cause of which is unknown by most. It is not “age” that causes the yellowing/crazing. it is the detergents and cleaners that auto-washes and car-wash-workers use.
An example is Windex window cleaner. It’s great for glass.

It kills plastic lenses tho’… because it contains AMMONIA. Many aggressive wash-detergents also contain it because ammonia dissolves bug-residue so well. But it KILLS headlamp lenses.
