New to me Cub Cadet 100
I introduced myself a few days ago when I picked up the 100. http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=46708
My plan is to do a complete restore so I am looking things over to formulate my plan. I have some experience with restoring garden tractors, but this will be my first CC and I am very excited about it. First impression of this little tractor a very good. Thanks to some pointers from members here I have found a lot of things including some manuals. For starters I have a couple of questions that I don't see referenced or I missed it. The first is on the dash/ pedestal. I know I am missing he key switch which I believe goes in the lower hole (arrow). My questions are: What is the upper hole that I have circled? Searching the internet I have seen others with the hole also but I don't know what should be there??? What is the red bulb? From the back it looks to be just an empty lens. Frame near the brake clutch. What is that that looks like a switch of some type? The rod running through it does move in and out. |

Other 100 owners will chime in to verify but I'm going to say that upper dash hole not supposed to be there, light is add on, original key switch hole looks to have been enlarged, should be a D hole. However, the thing behind the brake may end up being an add on old school safety start or brake switch cable activated, looks interesting, maybe a dealer add on.

Hole in black part of dash is not for the key switch, it goes in the pedestal portion, across from the pushbutton for the starter. Note--don't use my pic for anything else other than the switch locations. That Cadet is more mixed up than a Johnny Cash Cadillac

Looks like you have two large holes and two small holes to fill.

100's are my favorite!!
You have a few extra holes and additions. (normal after 50 years!) Several members have provided good pictures.. all you have to do is fill a few holes and add a few switches.. That thing on the side has to be something aftermarket Keep us posted!!

Thanks guys I suspected as much, but wanted to be sure. Funny that I have seen at least two other pictures with that hole in the dash, one on a tower for sale on eBay and the other in a YouTube video on 100 restoration.

i've got a 123 with the ign switch moved up on top of the dash like yours.. I think the decal may be a bit mis leading to people.. it says ignition just like it says choke on the other side... so people drill a hole and put it up there to match the choke... that's just a theory.... but it sounds good!

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.
