Sorry Perry, don't have an original, but this IPL is in the Prior Models Section 6 manual over at http://wheelhorse.org/manuals.html

I have never seen an HL-6 yet myself.

But I'd think back in the day most owners may have just opted to drill the hood sides & mount there own.

Thats also a prime location for getting knocked off or broken.

I can't imagine it was that popular of an accessory. :thumbs:

This is the original cyclops light with the GE lens and switch behind it. Although it was for a later tractor , it came on my 753. I believe it may be the rarest of all lights.

It would also be the ugliest ......... Oh Mr. Pond what were you thinking :thumbs:

Think that's ugly? Someone put an old 50's era floodlight off a wrecker dead in the middle of the 876's hood , wish I had a picture of it . That thing was huge, 6" lens and all...

At least the Wheel Horse light was incorporated into the hood ornament area.

Granted it is not the most attractive light. It is however very effective. It puts out a lot of light in the right area ahead of the tractor, and the fact that it can be moved from the seat it works well as a guide light. The HL-5 lights although my favorite because how good they make the tractor look specially on a low tractor like a suburban, are not effective at all. Contributing to their ineffectiveness is the fact that the lenses are oriented incorrectly since the lights are really tilted about 90 degrees from their intended orientation,upright.

I dont think your D should have those holes on your hood. I believe that the D's didnt come with that light fixture cause haha they have the two front lights?? I think someone wanted to put some extras on or something like that.

Thats a sharp light Cas! I'm with you on that, definitely the most effective and useful light Wheel Horse provided as an option. Excellent pics and a sweet 753! :thumbs:
