Hi,

I have freshly painted side and rear lights ready to fit. I have repro wings on my major so no mounting holes. Can someone please send the measurements, correct position etc...

Also where do you run the loom for rear and side lights?

Regards Tom

Hello Tom,

I don't know the exact measurements but maybe this will help.
The side lights were all ready in place but I renewed them.
For the rear lights I used holes that were all ready there and made sure the light came straight vertical.
I could measure it for you but it’s not easy on those round fenders.

Go to REPARATIES, than on the bottom of the page NEXT PAGE. The last item is about the rear lights.

Thanks for the info henk,

Could you send measurements for the side lights. Thanks Tom

Hello Tom,

Hope you understand the drawing. If not just let me know.

Just wondering? I do not think that my power major even had holes in the fenders for lights. Just the rear light behind the seat. Were the lights "Deleted" or "not installed" on tractors imported to the US right from the prodution line? Dandy Dave!

Amazing Thank you. T

Hi guys,

The rear lights were introduced here in the UK during the latter part of 1954 as a result of lighting regulations.

Nice pics of your project, where have you routed the cables from and too

Thanks

Hello Tiger,

Made two small boxes to connect the wires down the rear fenders, so it will be protect from dirt. The wire for the side lights go up through one support on the fender and the rear light wire through the other one.







Under the tape are two connectors so the wire can be split when the rear lights must be removed. I do this with every light.

Hi Henk

Thanks for that how have you run the cable from there to the switch

Tiger,

Under the brake axle connected with a tire rap to the brake cable, than up between the footplate on the edge of the rear end and the gearbox. Coming together under the dashboard. There are some clips around that part.

Thanks Henk
