Default Removing ignition switch on 82 series diesel?

I figured installing a new Kubota switch on my diesel would be a five minute job until I tried pulling the old switch. Best I can tell I need to drop the 1/2" cross bar that holds the speed control lever. This means maneuvering a 1-1/8" wrench through the dash and onto the nut on the inside of the console to remove the socket the right end of the cross bar rides in. Am I missing something? Is there actually another way to thread the switch through all the hydraulics in the console?

thanks!

I've changed a few of those but I don't remember having to do that. If you take the nut off of the front will it not push back through? I may have removed the battery tray but I don't remember.

It has been 15 years since I changed mine but I did not have to remove that part. I am pretty sure I removed the battery tray like Oak stated.

Thanks guys. I think I overlooked removing the battery tray since the fuel pump and voltage regulator are attached to it, but the fuel lines and wires are flexible enough I should be able to lift the tray enough to clear the switch. Going in from the bottom by removing the tunnel cover seemed more straight forward, except for that cross shaft that sits below the switch.

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.
