Cub Cadet 73 instrument panel
I have a 73. I have some work to do it. It has previously been “re-done”. I was hoping someone would please post pictures of their 73 instrument panel so I can see what it is supposed to look like.
I am adding pictures of mine so you can see what may be off. Is the large hole a factory thing, or is this where someone enlarged the hole? Also what items go on the instrument panel? Is it an ignition switch and a cigarette lighter? Thank you in advance. |

You are correct,but the big hole is for the ignition switch and would require parts # 15 & 16.
Small hole is for optional lighter which may use a filler plug. |

That diagram is a bit misleading as the switch actually goes in from the rear of the U clamp, part #15.
From left to right: (bottom photo) switch (17), U clamp (15), nut Then insert the assembly into the dash from the inside, then the cup, (16) from the outside, held by another nut, from the outside. I like that setup as it protects the key when in the switch from damage from my gunboat boots!! Wish they were all that way |

Thank you finsruskw. The diagram is great, and now the photos clear it up more. I am thankful for both the diagram and the photos. I agree, the photos offer a better understanding of the parts and assembly. You may be surprised how hard it has been for me to try and find a picture of a 73 instrument panel - a picture that is close up and clear. Thank you for the reply post.

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.
