Default 1872 what is this hole for?

On the drive shaft cover, above the label, left of center, there is a "D" shaped hole, the kind you'd mount an electrical switch in so it doesn't spin.
There's a dull ring in the paint around it, so something was there, it's a factory punched hole and paint is still intact.

Of all of the thing I will have to do to get this machine mowing again, this is what I'm most worried about; these are the kind of things that keep me up at night.

You have an oddity...... but we have seen it before. I had actually forgotten about this. But there was a tunnel cover that was made for a 3rd PTO switch.

Thanks for the link, that clears up what the hole is for. I had noticed the 2 holes for the extra switch and fuse holder on the tower when I first unloaded the tractor.
None of these hole have ever been occupied by a switch; the paint would be marred if the had, I'm going to assume the dull ring around the hole on the tunnel cover is from a blank-out of some sort to keep rain water out.

I would assume the tractor had a rear PTO and someone removed it.

I have an 1872 with the extra hole in the tunnel cover.

Looks almost like there was something mounted in the hole when painted, difficult to see but there is no yellow close to the hole. This shows up better in the last picture.

The red circle is around print stating Model 1872, 2072 on the bottom half of the tunnel decal.

My label is too far gone to read much of it, I see your tractor has 2 fuse holders which is part of the 3 switch setup if I'm reading right.

What I can't figure out is in what situation one would use front and back PTO at the same time? Of course I don't know what all of the available implements were.

The directional PTO Switch on these SGT's was "one or the other". It was never setup up to run both.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
