Bill: I think I would be tempted to find a plug for the hole where lighter goes. Lighter probably wouldn't be to bad if you don't hook it up. In late June of 1955 my dad was baling hay with a new 300. Even then lighter was rusted, just in the short while since tractor was built. My dad never used the lighter. My dad was off tractor talking with a field visitor. A travelling companion of visitor wanted a light. No one had a light for him. My dad said, "there is a lighter on tractor, help yourself." After they left my dad started baling again, in less than 2 minutes tractor stopped. The user had pushed lighter all the way in after using, it stuck, burned all the wires off under dash, including ign switch and amp gauge. My dad was left standing in middle of field with 3,000 bales of hay to bale and a tractor that wouldn't go. Needless to say every new tractor that came to our farm after that, had the lighter supply wire cut the day the tractor was delivered. Just one of those things that never worked until the era of the cab.
