HL-5 light kit switch

[formariz 11,861]

Does anyone have any good photos of the original switch and bracket for the HL-5 light kit? Specs on switch such as manufacturer also needed.

Many thanks everyone.

I can tell you they're Cole (Hersee?) switches and have "Cole Boston" stamped on the side. It's also the same switch that was used for the early electric PTO clutch.

I don't have any other specs on them but I could get you measurements if needed.

The switch beside the tail light in this picture is NOS WH P/N 5273. The other switch is a new C-H part that is identical other than the "color"

I can't help you with a bracket or a picture, but I know that one would be easy to fabricate.

Thanks TT.

That looks like the Cole Hersee 5007.I gather that the knob color on original was the same color? What brand was the rear light?

The original knob for the HL-5 switch was ivory and the electric PTO clutch knobs were black.

The tail light in that picture is a Griffin 120 / SAE-P-62. I believe Peterson Manufacturing (PM) also made that same light.

Some of the HL-5 headlights are actually PM 401 chrome utility lights.

Just FYI- you can go to Cole-Hersee's website and use their interactive catalog or download the pdf version to look for available switches/parts . Many of the old stuff they used back in the day is still around . Once you have a part number of theirs you can get lucky sometimes finding warehouse buyers that still have stock left . I got some 3-prong ignition switches this way.

Although the pics aren't very clear, this might help.

The HL-5 is toward the bottom. These switches were used for loads of things in the sixties so should be fairly easy to find. The bracket looks easy enough to fab up.
