Replace with a like bulb.

Align the post of the new bulb with the slot in the socket, push the bulb into the socket, and turn clockwise to lock it in the socket.

Position the rear lense in the housing and secure with the two screws removed earlier.

SERVICING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Fuses are installed to protect the tractor’s electrical system from damage caused by excessive amper- age. Always use the same capacity fuse for replacement. If the electrical system does not func- tion, check for blown fuses. See Figure 39

If you have a recurring problem with blown fuses, have the tractor’s electrical system checked by your Cub Cadet dealer.
