IIRC, the "L" terminal is not for an indicator light, but rather for "load". The concept of it is that it would be wired up to something that would put a "load" on the electrical system or specifically the battery. This way, the voltage regulator could use this terminal to take electricity from the starter-generator and send it directly to the load, therefore decreasing strain on the battery.
The 2 main examples of this load are lights, and electric lift. It's good that the hydro fluid still seems somewhat normal, means there's less of a chance that anything is broke

Got the "better" tower. Deep pits had been painted but at least not rot thru. At least not all the way thru! The welded tabs have expanding rust, so they'll have to be reworked but its better than i got. Also, new rear tires and tubes showed up. The tune up stuff showed up. And the front stub spindles and 5 bolt hubs from ebay are on the way... no frt tires yet, looking for some 5 bolt 8" wheels and 16x6.50-8 tires that are hopefully load range D
Still gonna be on lookout for a truly rust free tower. What models also had this tower? 122? (dont need the hydro lever hole going with foot control) Others?

LOL what didnt I tell u? just saw the actual shape of the tower. Its still better, has a throttle and was $20 bucks!
Also, ordered a couple wheel/tire combo from eTrailer. 5.70x8 Load Range C - 5 lug about $75 to my door for the pair. Later I'll source the widers but these will be bolt ons no mounting needed and fairly cheap.

That you were putting a footsy control on it, then you could have used one from a 102 or 122...

Couple Uh Oh's
well I've made a couple mistakes. One is minor, the tower just showed up and the seller didnt show the bad parts which is expanded rust in the batt box mounting tabs. Everything else looks pretty good. I can fill or use the ammeter hole someone put in it. I can air chisel the rust-expanded tabs apart, clean, and fix them.
The other uh oh, is my 5.70x8 tires/rims showed up. I was surprised how tall they are. Assumed the 5.70 meant width and the height would be pretty close to the 4.80's. Apparently not! 4.80x8 16.1" diameter 16x6.50x8 optional wide fronts 16" diameter what i bought - 5.70x8 18.1" diameter All may not be lost. I am making custom HD spindles anyway hence the 5-bolt front wheels. So the spindles can be welded on 1" higher. Need to check the swing of the tires, may have to move them outward a bit to get the same steering circle.. Anyone fixed those "expanded rust" tower tabs, and anyone messed with 5.70's on the front?

Wow that was fast. After typing about an air chisel, I remembered that I have cold chisels so I went into the shop and decided to just see what could be done. Chiselled the rust right out and the spot welds still holding. I can treat with rust converter, paint, hammer back together and call it good! The last pic shows one hammered closed again...

well, ya got one thing solved.
The replacement dash had an ammeter drilled into it too? Wow must have been a high need for ammeters in your area. As for tires, I have absolutely no clue because none of my tractors run new tires. I mean I'm sure you could still make those tall ones work, IIRC the narrow tires that would come stock on the smaller Cubs (O, 70, 71, etc) were a little taller than the wider ones.

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.
