Hey guys ...I'm trying to install a Hobbs hour meter in a 129 . The gauge has two posts on the back and does not even come close to fitting in the fiberglass panel hole . Anyone have any ideas on this? I looked at parts tree for an example but they don't show the gauges nor does the manual. What secures it to the panel ?
Thanks in advance |

The 1X8/1X9 series had the hour meters installed in the left side engine panel. The 169 is the only one that came factory with an hour meter. A picture of your meter would help a lot. The side panel I am describing is just below the fuel tank, about 4 - 5 inches wide.
This is the location: ![]()

The posts on the meter should be marked + and -. The - goes to any good clean ground, the + goes to switched 12V power, you can use the + terminal on the coil. As far as it not fitting in the hole, how far off is it? If it were me and it's a working tractor (not a show piece) I'd just file/grind the hole out carefully until the new meter fits.

Not sure if this is the style of gauge you have but there is usually a U shaped bracket that fits on the back side of the gauge after the gauge has been slid thru the mounting hole. A nut on each post holds the U bracket in place and applies force to keep the gauge from moving. As for the PO comment about the hour meter being factory, that is not correct. The 1X8/1X9 dashes had a choke on the left side, an ammeter in the center and a hole on the right for a cigarette lighter, or was filled with a chrome button. All you can probably do is enlarge the hole wherever it is located to install the hour meter or pick up a new meter to fit if the hole is already @ 2" or so.
Here is a drawing I made to show the bracket: ![]() This is the dash of a factory 1X8/1X9 as it should be with ammeter: ![]()

Per the 1x8/9 Operators Manual, it cites the 169 is the only model in that series that had a Factory installed hour meter on the LH Panel.

You definitely have a non-stock hour meter by the sounds of it. Some pics would really 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.
