Round Fender headlamps and taillamp

Roy Schroeder has a post under round fender tractor archives with a couple of headlamps he mounted on his lawn tractor. I like this setup and was wandering if anybody knows what the part number is on the brackets he has these headlight mounted on or what these brackets came off of. Under search wfm archives restoration forum -round fender tractor archives -round fender headlamp and tail lamp result 14 post 3767 is a picture of this setup. Does anybody know where I can find a bracket like this.

Robert since I know Roy I would look and see if his e-mail is listed under his members name and ask him. He hasn't been active here for probably 4 or 5 years when he got into old Caddys. If you find that old post you should be able to click on his name and find his e-mail. You could also copy and post the address of the post you are talking about here and if we can see it we may be able to help more. Welcome to WFM. Roger
Thanks, I already thought of that, but his email address is at yahoo.com and it is not valid anymore. Was just wandering if anybody else knew where that bracket came from.
Robert show where you saw the picture at on this site. I looked and couldn't find it and without seeing picture I can't help you. I know you know what the bracket looks like but I don't know what you are looking at. With a picture I maybe can help. Roger
Roger, under restoration and repair forum go to round fender tractors and search "Round fender headlamps and tail lamp." Under thread number 14 you will find Roy Schroeder's post. The bracket he uses to mount his headlights is what I am trying to find. Thank you for your help and expertise.
Robert that is exactly what I am doing but am getting different results. It would be easier if you would copy and paste what you are seeing in the menu bar in a post here and everyone could then see the page. Love to help but I am getting over a 1000 results and number 14 is about Bill Fs 1963 RF. I just did a copy and paste like that in the last 5 posts. Roger
Here is the image.}}}

Nope those are not JD but are ones that Roy made using tractor or motorcycle lights and his brackets. This is what a set of OEM lights look like. Roy's do work but because of where they are mounted do not work well for forward vision with a snow blower on the tractor. Roger

Another idea I had was to buy a grill guard from Alzwelding.com and mount my aftermarket lights on the grill guard on my 70 112.
Here is the grill guard I think would look good on a 112.

Robert the one Al's makes is very nice but is much bigger than the front end of a RF. I think you want something like this on my wife's 112. I will see if I have some other pictures of it someplace. This is just angle iron and a couple of holes drilled. Roger

Roger, I talked to AL about that and he said it will fit a 112. You would think it would look a little large on a 112. It looks fine on a 317.

Robert Al is talking about a Square Fender 1968 to 1974 112 not a RF 1966 and 1967 112. The front mounting is completely different between the two models of 112. It is your money but do not be surprised if it doesn't fit. Roger
Roger,
Robert was talking about adding AlZ's bracket to his 1970 112.

All of this discussion about this bracket needs to go into the Gear Drive section, not here.
Sorry, I was wandering where Roy Schroeder got those brackets for the headlights on his round fender lawn tractor. Then the conversation went to the grill guard for the 112 square fender.
Robert you are in a RF Forum so my mistake. Roger
