Default Can it be fixed?
My brother contacted me that he pried on the nob, trying to get the NF headlight switch off of his 125 cub cadet....yeah, I wished he had just asked me first on how to take it off, but that neither here nor there. Anyway, the plunger rod broke off in the knob. So, can this be fixed and if so....HOW? superglue? ....that would only make it impossible to remove in the future without breaking it again. Take it apart and fix the rod?

Thanks in advance for considering this problem.

Is there enough of the rod sticking out that you can thread some of what's left and screw the knob back on?

looks like it is time for a new switch,or drill out the knob,and tap the stem on the switch for a screw.

Just replace it. It's just a on/off white knob switch. You can get that about anywhere parts are sold. Look just like the original.

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.
