Headlight Lens
Comments (0)I have a True Value Lawn Chief Model 455 Power Plus Riding Lawn Mower. I am searching for a Headlight Lens part number 112565. I got the part number from my repair parts manual. I will take a new or used lens. The used lens must be in good condition with no cracks or chips. My phone number is 717-944-9167. Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

Comments (24)I've wanted to upgrade my tractor to LED headlights, but there probably isn't a direct plugin that would work on my mower. That's because my old Wards Signature 2000 headlights are driven off an (approximately) 12vAC winding in the alternator. These headlights get brighter with engine speed, and go off when the engine stops. Since they are incandescents they don't care if it's AC or DC, but LEDs of course would care. I don't actually do that much mowing at night, but when I do use the headlights it's mostly just to finish up some area after sunset. The existing headlight setup on this Wards is susceptable to collecting dirt and dust behind that big wraparound lens up front, which reduces the light output. It will put out a little 'pool' of light on the ground immediately in front of the mower, just enough to barely see where you're mowing, but not always enough to reliably see hazards the grass. Just once I'd like to enjoy some really decent light out there, for those rare occasions I mow in the dark....See MoreFord Explorer headlights dim with a/c running
Comments (1)About headlamp flicker, there may be a bad ground somewhere or a resitive connection at the alternator terminals. Also, if there is an imtermittent short in the A/C circuit, this may cause lights to flicker. The non-functioning power door locks can have many causes. One commonly overlooked failure is broken wires in the boot going from the driver side door to the body. Sometimes, test procedure given in repair manuals may indicate bad driver console swithes when a broken wire is at fault....See MoreXenon Headlight Conversion
Comments (2)Well, I decided to buy two new replacement headlight assemblies, then put in Silverstar Ultra halogen bulbs. What a difference! 300% better light! The plastic on the old ones was just too weathered and dull. Had used the headlight polish kits from auto parts stores several times, but it only helped a little. Definitely worth the $225 for new units. Thanks for advice on the xenon conversion - probably would have cost much more to legally convert to those and bulb replacement is probably much higher and possibly more frequent....See Morebeckysharp Reinstate SW Unconditionally
