Flat-Back Light Bulb Questions

Postby AL Farmall Boy » Tue Mar 03, 2020 11:10 am

Does anyone have expierence with the flat back light bulbs that Steiner sells ? I bought a couple of the LED ones and also bought the housing gaskets. I cant figure out how that little brass tab mounts.....it looks too long! Also is there a trick to putting them together with the gasket?

The brass tab should exit the round hole, bend down, and a screw goes through it into the small hole.

Wrap the gasket around the sealed beam lense, then wrap the clamp around the gasket. The bigger side of the gasket faces the front.
Then, place it in the housing and tighten the clamp.

Ok great. Exactly what I needed to know. I guess bending that tab won’t hurt anything I just thought it wouldn’t have been so long

I haven’t tried them yet, but they turned out great! The gaskets and bulbs fit very well. Very pleased with these. Thank you all for the help.

I was oogling over these a couple of weeks ago when I visited Steiner's. They have a really great display for the LED Headlights.
Looking through their catalog, the LED lights they have list only 12v. They have Flood and Trapezoid beam.

Hi,
If you are using the lights on the front of a Cub, with the original style mounting brackets, they are supposed to have the long spacers on the mounting bolts.
The lights in your pics have the short spacers, those are for the rear light.
The Cub parts manual shows it.

Below is a listing at TM Tractor for the headlight spacers.

Below is a listing for the headlight mounting, there is a pic of the light mounted on it there also. :)

Thank you Glen. That is something that I didn't notice and I had just pulled these old lights off a Farmall 200 parts tractor. I'll get them sorted before installation.
