Dash Repair Methods
On my 782D and 1572, the dash is starting to wear pretty badly where the grommet from the hood rubs on the dash when closed. In a couple of spots it has worn through. What are some time proven methods for repairing this wear? I was even contempating using J & B Weld along with a bondo spreader to fill in the gap, then paint it black. I figure if the J & B is rugged enough to tap and drill, maybe it will hold up better than the plastic that was there. ideas?

I JB'd my 1872 a year ago. I had "almost" through holes.
Looks good so far. I did it on a warm day. The JB flowed real nice, giving a great surface finish. For the vertical sides, I let the JB set for 30 minutes before applying. Again, I got smooth surface flow. Hope you have access to a heated garage in MA, I spent a couple years in Wilmington. If I would have had through holes, I would have used Fiberglas cloth.

My 882 dash was trash, then I saw Matt G's repair method and figured I would give it a try. It's not complete yet and it needs a few more layers of JB applied, sanded and painted black. I don't know if it will hold up to the vibration but I'm going to see if I can support the hood off of something else under there.

Oak, that dash looks like you could park a smoker engine on it, good job.
When I "rehooded" my Cyclops with a metal hood, there was nothing to hold the hood up. I fabricated the "L" shaped bracket that bolts under the oil filter and goes up over the battery.

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.
