Default Grille screws won't tighten
Are there some clips that I'll need, or do you guys just put a bolt and nut through them. Definitely would not want to witness that thing fall off and go through the mower deck..... eeeek!

It's the 2 screws on the lower grille.

Josh,

That grill screen should have a 10-24 x 1 pan head machine screw with a washer and a locknut.

Here is what the Parts Catalog says. The only change I would make is to use "NyLock" nuts.

Copy that! And they are unique in design. Unlike what DX3 is showing us(sorry dude)...they are a lower profile spring to clear the muffler box.Quick removal to remove debris and quick install...just think of the time to use the other hardware to perform the task...tool in one hand,hardware in the other? VS just two simple springs? Made fast assembly at Louisville Works going down the line or at the dealership?

LOL, no worries, I was basing it on what was on my 1250. But that was probably a PO fix.

Those springs would be correct for 72 thru 169.

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.
