Default Remove key switch 1782

I am trying to get the key switch out of a 1782 CC diesel. Looks like the same switch that's in the 82 series diesels. I'd think the chrome cap would pop off and expose a nut but it doesn't seem to work that way and I don't want to bugger it up.

Anybody know how to do this?

Okay that did it. I had tried that once but didn't try too hard. It's off, thanks.

Hi Mike,
According to Partstree. the ignition switch in your 1782 is the same KB part number that is used in the 782D and 1572, of which, I've replaced both. The cap I assume you are referring to is the chrome cap on the "key-side" of the switch. When removing it, providing some previous owner did not put some other brand on it, I simply grabbed the backside of the switch with my hand to keep it from rotating and rotated/unscrewed the chrome ring off of the switch. If I remember correctly, it was your standard right-hand thread. To grab the chrome ring and NOT scratch up the pedestal or the chrome ring itself, I used a pair of channel-locks which had some cloth wrapped around each of the jaws to prevent scratching/marring of the parts. I do remember that when I replaced the switch on my 782D, it was quite stubborn as if water had gotten inside the chrome lock-nut. When you get the new one you can see then how it all fits together.

I got it Frank, thanks. I wasn't sure and I didn't want to tear anything up. Looks like they're kind of pricey.

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.
