Default Push button starter
Has anyone ever tried using this push button starter from Tractor Supply?
it looks like the same as the one sold for the Cubs and it calls for a 1 3/4"
hole opening which should fit.Just curious...it cost 12.99.

Thanks,Bruce

I'm sure it would work and be a good quality part but the button sticks out about twice as far past the dash as a factory one.

You could make a shim for it so it doesn't stick out so far. Good find!!

Ive got one in my "O" it works just fine. It does stick out to far, but works just fine. Here's a picture so you can see what it looks like. Oh and it does use the same mounting holes.

I had a 100, that had the longer push button starter. Never had a problem with it.

I had that on my 100 that I restored. It worked great and was rated for 12V.

Did you try shimming this out? What is the advantage of this, just not turning the key?

A few of the early Cubs had a separate starter switch, rather than the 3-position key switch. (Off-run-start)

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.
