I also have problems with the vacuum headlights? How can I tell if the whole mechanism still works? Right know it wont turn up when switch is activated.

Those pneumatic headlights fail often. I think you can get parts for them at Fusicks. You might also be able to find a gas tank there, or at least a gas tank rebuilding kit (with the coating and cleaner).

I'm dismantling a couple Toro's and when I get to the tank I could pull the sending unit. I don't think I could ship a used tank as it would be considered a hazardous materials item. I have a vacuum gun designed for bleeding the brakes that I put on the hoses to test the trunk release. You could use one to try and open/close the headlight doors and trace the system between the lights and the switch. Find the place where the vacuum stops working. John
