Electric Light - F14/F12 Pictures Please

PAKEHA · Jun 16, 2011

I am preparing to make up an electric lighting kit for my F14.

Does anyone have one on their tractor? And if so, can you post pictures of:
1) the headlight mounting bracket,
2) the generator mounting arrangement and
3) the protected wiring over the transmission to the tail light, not forgetting
4) the switch assembly.

Many thanks

I added lights to my F12 but they are not the original style lights, mine are off a letter series tractor. For a generator I used one of the same era, its off a 1930s car, its pretty close to what was originally used its a Delco Remy 947V or something like that. As far as mounting the generator the original bracket is made as part of the water inlet elbow on the left side of the engine, you can often find these on ebay. And for a light switch I just used a control box off of a letter series Farmall.

I made my own generator bracket out of angle iron and flat steel. The top bar in the second picture can be moved back and forth to line up the pulley for the belt and than the two small bolts tighten and hold it in place. The armature that holds the generator is made from a piece of flat steel also as you can sort of see it in the first photo. I apologize as the first photo is somewhat blurry

Thanks JJ. I have a late 20's 'drum' type headlight similar to the original style, but a bit bigger.
The details of the mounting have given me a few ideas.
Cheers, Adrian

I have and fab the original style light bracket for the F12 and F14 tractors. I also do the battery boxes and mounts. I can get some pictures taken off of my tractor and send to you if you email me directly at [email protected], Dwayne
