WHNJ701 4,165 #1 Posted January 31, 2019 it's cold out and I am bored so I am going to make some hl5 light brackets, what size pipe is used? I was going to use 1/2" EMT since I have a bunch on hand. where is the switch mounted?, I see they are still available. I found the photo of the template, I redrew it in Autocad and I will post as pdf once I know it works out 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike'sHorseBarn 3,272 #2 Posted January 31, 2019 The switch mounts in a bracket as shown in the link below and mounts on the right side of the tractor where the two bolt holes are as shown in the pic. Hope this helps! https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/mower.html#!/HL-5-Switch-and-Bracket/p/115199381/category=0 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,744 #6 Posted January 31, 2019 @Lane Ranger (Lane Ralph) had a friend that made reproduction light brackets, and I bought a couple a few years ago, but I think the fellow passed away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
