Let there be Light

After using my new tractor with actual headlights I decided to upgrade the old B8200.
Wow who did Mr. kubota think he was fooling, the high and low beam bulbs are a stop and tail bulb!
you might as well just hold a candle.lol
While I had the hood and side panels off i also freshened up the paint, whatever would fit in the blast cabinet got taken all the way back to bare metal the rest was grinder work on the pock marks. This old gal has had a rough life and shows her wrinkels . I beat down some high spots and brough up some lows but stayed away from the bondo.

I forgot to take a before pic so i staged one for reference, the hood actually had a sheet metal piece running across the bottom that was broken loose so I did away with it.

Nice job...did you have to fabricate that bracket holding the lights or just modify it?

Thanks,

Had to make a bracket. The original lights are mounted to a bracket that is removable but it was easier to start from scratch, i did use the factory tabs welded into the hood.
When i mounted it to the tractor i had to trim the grill for clearance to tilt the hood.
