Default Dash/cowl

greetings everyone... just a couple quick questions if i may, i noticed that the dash/cowl piece on my 1250 is made of fiberglass..is this true for other models also?? i ask just because i work in the industry [unfortunately] and is this something i should make a mold for? they seem hard to find, and OVERPRICED...also, does anyone know if the duro tires are true to size?/ i have heard the deestones tend to run small. thanks

Most have the fiberglass dash. Late 60s and 70s models.

The fiberglass dash first appeared on 1X4/5 series. The 1X6/7's, 1X8/9's, and the Quiet Line series tractors also had fiberglass dash covers.

I don't know what the later tractors used.

Keep in mind that each series tractor had, it's own style dash.

I think reproduction dash covers would be a great idea.

well thats what i was kinda wondering..i have been in fiberglass molding, repair, and production for almost 10yrs now..open molding to L.R.T.M [resin transfer molding] and infusion....so, as long as i had an exact pattern to build an mold from..well thats all...and the gel-coat, resin, and glass for those parts plus labor couldnt be more than 60-80 bucks....???? the one on my 1250 has some crazing and cracking but not bad enough that it cant be repaired...just feel for those guys looking at replacements for over 100-150$

im on it fellas.. i will do some research to see how many different styles there would have to be, [molds to make] and check into some materials and costs, but reproduction dash covers in sanding/primer gel coat are not far off...keep me posted if others are interested, please..? also, i may need to use/find different styles of dash covers as patterns for molds, can do it without damage...thanks

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

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.
