I can see a market for them as well as the plastic for the Cyclops tractors.

Since these old ironsides tend to live on and on, I'd bet the market for more fragile parts like the glass dash will only continue to grow.

NOW, if someone could find the tooling for the aluminum dash trims. I paid almost as much for an NOS replacement as I did for the whole dern tractor. As good a job someone did making them, I just couldn't go with the faux decal replacements.

I do have a NOS dash for a 149 that I paid dearly for. I just need another one for my 109.

Personally, I would like a QL "blank" dash without holes. I could see a market for replacement panels for any of the plastic crap, maybe out of heavier fiberglass?

i can make them as thick as you want, and definitely dont need to do the holes. would have to build a router jig to get all the cut outs right anyways.. im going to try to pull the dash off of 1250 and make a mold for it..only thing is, that the backside/underside wont be perfectly smooth, as i was going to open mold these for now..otherwise to inject or infuse them, we're talking b-molds and tens of thousands of dollars for tooling...does anyone know exactly how many "styles" there are?? thanks

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.
