Hi Sorry I didn't note the type . It's on a old teardrop Guide combination or head light from the letter series tractors . You have the reflector , the lens , the gasket around the lens with the fin pointing towards the reflector then the ring that holds it all together . I took apart and repaired my switch got the reflectors nickle plated , beadblasted the housings and rings and repainted them , got new gaskets from IH ( that may be my worst mistake ) washed and polished the lens and just cleaned up and polished the red jewel . I got the combination light together and it's all good and works great but it was a bear to do ! I still have two headlights to put together though . That's the reason for the question . Just seems like there ought to be a easier way than the ways I did it . I double nutted the stem ( post ) and clamped it in a vise with the light pointing up after I got all the wiring done and the reflector put in and attached and everything worked , then putting the lens and the gasket on with the ring around it all just took me about an hour of the gasket rolling over every time I tried slipping the ring over it or just plain coming off the lens . I expanded the ring as far as I felt comfortable and then some . I tried running the ring around from one side . I tried putting the ring and lens together with the gasket then putting it all on the light . None of those ways seemed easier than the other . I got it but how do YOU do it ? If you tell me you won't have to kill me will you ? HA- HA . Thanks ...Randy
