Default Replacement gauge

I'd like to replace the amp gauge on my 147. What is the correct one I should be looking for (IE what came from the factory) and if I can't find that one is it safe to assume they are all the same, or do some take different amounts of voltage?

thanks

As long as it is a 12V ammeter it will work. Here is an original replacement. It has the IH logo on it. I buy from this company all the time. Shipping is fast too!

Ok so here is question #2; did IH use the same diameter ammeter in most of their equipment? IE would one that would go in, for example a MD, fit in the dash of a 147?

If you click on the link I supplied you will see a mile long list of what the gauge fits......

So yeah I checked out the link you sent me and decided that I didn't want a $28 replacement that doesn't look like the original, and I've been researching some used ones but I wanted to make sure I got what would fit and would work correctly the first time. I've gotten burned before by things that look similar but are way off.

I'm sorry I asked any questions. I thought that was what this forum was for.

I didn't mean to be a jerk, but the question was answered with the link. Yes there are different gauge sizes, IH used the same size and parts between all of their equipment. Let me give you another link. On this page the first one may be the one you are looking for. As far as price, I don't know what you are expecting but under $30 is a good deal for an amp gauge. I also buy from this company, but not as much because they usually take too long to ship for me and they usually are more expensive.

I didn't mention, if looking for a used original gauge, one of our sponsors at the top would probably have a good used one. Perhaps even a NOS.

Ok, no hard feelings. I should have been more specific in what I was asking. I do the necessary research before posting a question so that's why I was getting frustrated.

My 147 isn't showroom condition and I don't plan on doing a restoration at this point. I want a ammeter that is more accurate than the one I currently have so I want to put one in that "looks" like it's been in the machine for 40 years. I'm going to a show next weekend and will be looking at parts and I wanted to make sure I pick out the correct one, and not get home and find out that 1) it didn't fit the diameter of the opening and/or 2) it was the wrong voltage.


Thanks for your help.

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.
