HL-5 light bar template

Recommended Posts

RedRanger

Does anyone have the HL-5 light bar template that they can post up?  The one floating around last year has been erased by photobucket.

Thanks in advance.

This is what I had saved. According to the thread the bar would wrap around this. Thanks to @dclarke :)

Thanks Bob.  Wanted to share it with a buddy, but Photobucket has blocked the old links.  I also found a copy in my computer.

It's a template to shape the support bar for the HL-5 headlights. :)

I always felt it was a bit odd how the lights sit , you'd think the bracket would have had an opposing angle to match to set them 90* to the ground...?

Still , it is quite a look , especially on the older round hoods...

I know what you mean Sarge. I had the HL-5s on my 854 and did a minor modification so I could turn the lens so the 'grooves' were horizontal. Nice job making that Redranger. :)

That always bothered me a bit. Actually those "grooves" are designed to be vertical. Then one gets the correct light spread and range. That is why the "bug eye" lights actually provide better lighting since lenses are about clear.

      Hi all,
       
      i bought this 1961 701 in fall of 2018 and restored it. I completed it in fall of 2019 and I wanted to show some pictures of before during and after I got it done. I did my research and tried to make this tractor as close to original as possible. The few exceptions are tires, wiring and the steering support. Not a perfect tractor but sure is nice enough for me.

      If anyone has a HL-5 Headlight setup on their Wheel Horse I would appreciate some help on getting the dimensions of the u-shaped pipe/tubing that the headlights attach to.

      I decided that I can make a couple sets for our Lawn Rangers by using conduit and steel plate. I have some chrome headlights that will work with no probelm to the tubing.

      The location of the muffler/exhaust on the tractor suggest the length of the tubing and angle has to be under ten inches to avoid any problem being close to the heat of the muffler and exhaust pipe.

      Any help with this information would be appreciated.

      Added the first replica HL-5 today on the 653, the first of a couple of dozen in the works. They are not connected yet, working on a bracket for switch.
