Can someone give dimensions & details of the HL-5 light kit?

[dlpaw 3]

Hello,

I was interested in finding an HL-5 headlight kit for our tractor (anyone?!), but rumor has it that they are rare...so, I'd like to try making a copy instead.

Can anyone provide the dimensions and construction details of this accessory? I would really appreciate it.

thanks for posting that link, tt. been thinking about making something similar, guess i never got around to searching or asking for the dimensions.

dlpaw, thanks for asking the question!!!!!

im sure you could fab it out of tubing and get it to look similar to the original without using solid bar stock.

Has anyone ever found a suitable modern equivalent of the original lights? Everything I have found is either too large or not chrome plated

Thank you! That was my next question...and if a modern replacement is not available, can someone tell me the diameter and depth of the original lights, so that I can try and match up a replacement?

The PM Co lights (with the flatter lenses) are approximately 3 1/4" diameter X 1 3/4" deep.

These are the ones I used on my worker round hood, they are 50 watt, halogen driving lights from walmart cost was $20, the mounting bar is a orig. I have a few orig. New light switches if you need one, these are the best I found for size.

Kelly, is there a place where I can see pictures of your hydraulic set up on that tractor? Specifically the pump mounting and the cylinder attachment? Pretty nice looking!!
