People are sneaky like that, trying to make things seem better than they really are.
As for ammeter, I personally would weld up the hole, paint, and replace the dash decal, but that's just me . Having the ammeter might actually be helpful anyways. Always good to know that your tractor is actually charging.

You need to cut the spot welds, not beat it to death with a chisel.
Check with your auto parts store, they can get you a spot weld cutter for your in a hand drill motor. |

Spot weld cutter. Hmmm. I didnt even know these were spot welded until I opened them up. And I didnt know about spot weld drills either. I'll grab one at HF. Maybe then even make a larger battery tray that can accept a small car battery since there more choices that way, more cranking amps etc

Ok well the HF spot weld drill worked fantastic, except only for one hole before it broke up. But the concept is great, thanks for the education. I ended up just drilling them out, hammered the tabs straight, and cleaned with a light grinder treatment. We now have a Metal Supermarket and they have a bending press that goes up to 16ga IIRC. I'll see about making a bigger battery tray in 3 pieces the bottom and sides, a back piece to hit the tabs and a front to retain the battery. Looks like a Group 34 might do, gotta make sure it doesnt come too far forward. Not sure if gonna weld the new tray back in (dont have a spot welder just a stick welder) or maybe short SS bolts or some kind or low profile type of machine screw.

All my tractors start just fine with a decent L&G size battery.
If you need a car size battery to start your Cub, I would suggest a good tune up starting with static timing. |

Well, it's not the best logic but now is the time to make the upgrade! I'd love to hear some input on the 5.70's. I think they are just too tall for the front and even if I raise the spindle location by an inch to get the frame level again, they just dont look right anyway! Thoughts??? Now's the time on that too...

Procured a power steering pump and cylinder today very happy. One step closer. The hubs and spindles got lost by USPS so the seller sent me a replacement set due tomorrow. As soon as weather permits, I'll do the spindle upgrade and then start fitting the PS gear.

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.
