davem 12 #1 Posted December 25, 2014 hello and merry Christmas maybe someone on hear has run into this with a long frame tractor. I bought a brand new set of hl-5 lights they are pm 401 in the boxes . I then later purchased the light bar from earl up in Indiana thanks to one of the members on hear who turned me on to him . I have a brand new cole hersee switch for this. now my question is this I am either going to have to drill the dash panel and take a chance of screwing up the paint and new decal which I rather not chance this tractor is almost done . the other thing I was considering was to drill the hood stand but it would have to be offset so the upper steering shaft would not interfere. now I have seen the original bracket and one on hear that a member shows how to build question is what would you guys do and will that bracket bolt up to the 1056 or am I goanna have drill holes thanks dave 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davem 12 #3 Posted December 25, 2014 well that looks to me like the original switch bracket from the original light kit or you did a nice job of of making that one. problem with mine is its 1966 1056 and the pto bracket is mounted on the right side of the hood stand I guess you would call this a long frame tractor with the square hood just was curious what other guys did with there tractors like this or just bite the bullet and drill the dash. I hate to do this but I may have too will see maybe someone else will chime in that devised a better way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
520HC 208 #4 Posted December 25, 2014 There is a hole in the pto bracket that's bolts to the side of the hoodstand. I have used it several times for the light switch location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davem 12 #10 Posted December 27, 2014 tt I went out this morning and looked at the pto bracket . well the hole that I thought I could use that you pointed out to me, I can not seems on this 1056 the throttle cable goes right threw that hole. but I believe I can make a bracket to fit in there may have to take the pto loose or off to get the bolt pattern I got some stainless steel laying around will see what happens I think that's about the only option I have at this point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #11 Posted December 27, 2014 I'd recommend moving the the throttle cable..... it's not supposed to be routed through that hole. I can get pictures of the correct cable routing on my 1056 if no one beats me to it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davem 12 #12 Posted December 27, 2014 tt I have the manual for my tractor . however it does not include the pto set up as we all know this was an option however when I pulled this tractor apart that's the way they had it routed so I just put it back together the same way I took it apart assuming it was correct I guess were going to pull the dash again and fix that thanks for the tip 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would like to put a stainless steel stack on her but everything is original except the tires I was not going to put those dry rotted things back on even though they still held air going back to the stack I seen a post on hear show me your stacks there's a guy on there I believe to be an old rj but anyway that stack is so cool I like it how ever now I am going away from original. what do you guys think stay stock or put a stack on her? if I went to the stack I would want polished stainless I have been all over the net I can't find one I know I am rambling heck I am excited will that effect the engine no back pressure and all dave.sr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
