[Farmall] Light switch for converted 12v '55 cub

[DBigdog]

Dale you want the 3 position switch and I believe the later knob but I'll 
have to check my 56 to be sure on the knob.  I think OEM has the knob for 
the tail light.  Either OEM or TM Tractor should have the switch and knob 
for the lights. Or get a good used light switch from RalphsCubs.com

My '55 cub was converted from 6v to 12v, but the guy doing the work simply 
cut the wires to the lights until they were changed to 12v bulbs.  I have 
done that, but now I need a new LIGHT SWITCH.  The old one apparently had 
been replaced at some time with a cheesy toggle switch, and now I want to 
put on an "original" one.  As many times as I have looked at the parts 
manuals, I just can't figure out which switch.  Obviously I need 12v, but is 
it 3- or 4-position?  I have the two round-backed (not tear-drop or 
flat-backed) headlights, and one combination taillight - round backed, with 
a sealed beam with red paint on the rear and a small bulb shining behind 
through an unpainted hole.  It also has a switch on the outside, but it is 
missing the knob.

And speaking of knobs, which knob on the panel switch would be right, the 
"early" one or the "later" one?

So, what I need are:
Light switch
Knob for light switch
Knob for taillight

I am just finishing reassembly after a partial restoration, but cannot go 
much further until I get the panel back in place, and I want to get the 
switch first, so thank you or any info.  Oh, and if you have a particular 
vendor for these, let me know.
