Trying to sort out tailight setup on 445 diesel. Mine has rear light with switch and red bullet light mounted on top. Looks to be original and mounts on left rear. Have 3 5 Stars and bullet mounted separately and on top side of fender. Rear light is lower and on a swivel bracket. All 4 have different brackets. What is correct?
 
I'm not sure MM has "correct police" the same way IH cub cadet guys are.

There are so many exceptions when dealing with MM stuff. If I was you, I would stay with what you have on each tractor and assume its correct.
 
I think the early 445s, in some pictures Ive seen, had headlights and a small rear red tail light with no work light. Other pictures Ive seen there was the small rear red tail light and a work light. The later ones used a combination work / red tail light. If you have a light like IH used that has a small "extra" light on top I dont believe MM used them. The headlights were sealed beam units and the rear combination light was a reflector type with switch which was the same general size as the headlights.
 
Rear light is not sealed beam like front ones so maybe IH. No swivel mount so light doesn't look right. Was trying to repair fenders but too many holes to know proper location.Going with 5 Star format. Single tailight and worklight below on bracket.
 
Here is a factory picture of a 5 Star, looks like there is no work light. In the second picture there looks to be nothing but red tail light on top of the page but bottom one shows a work light in the same spot.
