961 work / tail light location

Would anyone have a picture of their 961 with the correct location of where the work and tail lights are located on the fender? I was able to obtain both from a user on here and want to put them in the right spot. They're both 6V and the original work light still functions. The tail light needs a 6V lamp. The red lens even has Ford Motor Company on it. Thanks!
 
I don't have any pix of a 960 but know that lighting kits were never factory installed items. Lights were only dealer optional accessories up until the 860 Model and
then only the headlights were installed. The Ford Tractor taillight used went thru a few revisions. The TAURUS Taillight was used from '39 thru '49. The DUOLAMP 8N-
13404 replaced it until the NAA in SEP 1952 was released. With the new NAA (Jubilee) the DUOLAMP was revamped with a plastic red lens, now with the FOMOCO logo, that
covered the housing and eliminated the chrome bezel altogether. This was p/n FAA-13402-A, used '53-'54. The DUOLAMP was again revamped with a new permanent mounting
bracket and eliminated the clear license plate lens altogether in 1955 with p/n NCA-13402-A, and used til 1957. Up until then, all Taillights used the Fender Bracket
to fasten/mount to. Beginning in 1958, another revamp was released, p/n 310064, and was used til 1964. This unit was bolted directly to the LH fender. I'd say your 961
used this last style. It had the red plastic lens, no clear lens, and now included an extra wire connector for the accessory outlet that was new to Hundred Series
Models. The original 6V 'bayonet style' bulb used on the taillights was p/n B-13466. Today it is Industry Standard part number #63. FWIW: the 12 bulb is Industry
Standard #67. You can go to the Dennis Carpenter web site and get all these parts as I listed. He makes them with a lot of the original tooling exactly. It was FED law
to have the red taillight mounted on the LH side of rear fender. The worklight was meant to mount on the RH side and you'll find it works best to do so. Some mount the
worklight with the LH taillight your call. On the DC catalog photo, both lights are on the LH side. Here is my early 8N with TAURUS Tail and Implement Lamp mounted
correctly. Here's a 900 on a DC catalog but don't know if it is clearly visible.
