Headlamp Lens C Series

Can somebody post a picture of what a real 1930s C series headlamp LENS looks like?
I don't know if I've ever seen one. Mine are converted or broken I think..

Re: Headlamp Lens C Series

I will try to remember to get a photo of the lens I bought for my B-3. Guessing they might be the same. MM

Re: Headlamp Lens C Series

Are they the same? I think the buckets are different? I've got B-3 headlamps w/lenses...

This is a Guide Tiltray lens which I believe was original on the C's.

Re: Headlamp Lens C Series

Dave look at that lens and see what the tiltray number on it is. That is the best way to find a replacement or to see if they are the same on other models. The B-3 Lens I have has number 913490, it is located in small print along the outside edge. I also had bought some other lens said to be for a 30's IH and they were not right, Will have to locate them and see what number they were. They were a conves lens rather than flat like the B-3. Also the B-3 lens is 9.75" dia. MM

Re: Headlamp Lens C Series

The diameter of the lens is 8.75". The number is 914789. It is a convex lens. This lens fits my 35 C-1 and my 36 C-15.

Re: Headlamp Lens C Series

So the lense IS NOT flat?? Didn't know that.
Obviously not the same as B-3!
Thanks, Dave!
