Horse_rebuilder 5 #1 Posted September 15, 2022 So I just bought a new to me 78’ b81 mower with the intentions of turning this one into a race mower, pulley swaps, lowering it, etc. however I need a set of headlights for the thing, I saw that the C101’s with what looks to be the same hood came with headlights from factory, I was wondering if I could just swap the hoods so I can get the headlights on my b81, any thoughts or recommendations?

Pullstart 62,905 #3 Posted September 15, 2022 Is the hood steel or fiberglass? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,292 #4 Posted September 15, 2022 The "B" series was a lawn tractor and though the hoods look similar to the "C" series garden tractor I doubt that the hood would be the same size. That being said, since you are building a race tractor I guess a few modifications to a hood wouldn't be a deal breaker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,597 #5 Posted September 15, 2022 To be quite honest, the factory lights are only slightly better than holding a candle in front of you while you drive. If you are building this tractor to go fast, I suggest putting better lights on it. One example. https://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Driving-Lights-Spotlights-Waterproof/dp/B09VC57NY2/ref=asc_df_B09VC57NY2/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=563658249300&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1614714086515426140&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1016367&hvtargid=pla-1707290933207&psc=1 Or some thing like these if you prefer chrome. https://www.ebay.com/itm/162222135157?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1MGRFTDCEQVWscmC1nuRF_g39&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=162222135157&targetid=1644837435483&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=1016367&poi=&campaignid=16743749222&mkgroupid=138744546207&rlsatarget=pla-1644837435483&abcId=9300842&merchantid=101685322&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrOnGxOGW-gIV7RXUAR0q9wdrEAsYASABEgIIQvD_BwE 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
