Cub Cadet Volunteer headlight bulbs use 881 size for both high beam and low beam applications. The replacement chart covers 2017 to 2019 production years with bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 881 bulb is the sole bulb type specified across all lighting positions on the Cub Cadet Volunteer for the 2017-2019 model years, covering both high beam and low beam headlight applications.
The 881 is a single-filament halogen bulb, meaning it contains one tungsten filament enclosed in a halogen gas-filled capsule, which distinguishes it from dual-filament bulbs that serve two lighting functions within a single unit.
The 881 operates at 12 volts and draws 27 watts, placing it in the lower wattage range typical of auxiliary and utility vehicle lighting rather than the higher-output bulbs found in full-size road vehicles.
The 881 uses a PGJ13 base, a pin-type connector format that is not interchangeable with common bayonet or wedge-base bulb types, making base compatibility a relevant factor when sourcing a replacement.
The 881 conforms to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, indicating the bulb meets standardized performance and dimensional criteria applicable across North American markets.
Because the Cub Cadet Volunteer uses the same 881 bulb for both the high beam and low beam positions, the vehicle relies on separate physical lamp assemblies or switching logic to differentiate beam functions rather than a dual-filament bulb design.
