Default Original volt meter
What's the correct placement for a voltmeter on an original?

Did they even make one? I've certainly never seen one on an O. Don't recall seeing anything of it in any of the manuals either, but I could be wrong.

They did make a charge indicator (ammeter) with a bracket to mount it.

Very interesting! I looked through all 3 manuals for it but there seems to be no recognition of it anywhere, not even in the electrical system diagram.

All I managed to find was this image, but don't that look like an hour meter??



Then I found this dash for sale, but that 2nd hole looks like a PO mod spot for an ammeter. You can still see the corner of the IH logo that woulda been there



Guess it isn't a very common feature

Yes, that is a hobbs hour meter in the pix.
Back in those days, not a lot of bells and whistles were available.
But I defect to those that are more familiar with the originals.
If they did have a charge indicator it would be an ammeter, not a volt meter
as was the norm back in the day

The only device available "at that time", was a Ammeter as an accessory.

it's right there in the parts book and the instruction sheet that came with it indicated the left side of the tower IIRC

I have a picture but for some reason It will not upload.

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.
