Default original ignition switch
I bought an original about a year ago. The ignition switch (on/off) was a push/pull instead of a key. I have finally decided to change it to a key, like it is supposed to be. The switch I pulled off looks like a headlight switch. On the front of the switch, it says out-run on the top, and in-stop on the bottom. was this original to the CCO instead of having a key switch, or is this a headlight switch (mine does not have the headlight option). Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Not original...the CCO has a keyed on/off switch like the 70/100.

If that is an old headlight switch, then it could fetch some decent $$$ with the labels still intact on it!

It could also be an ignition switch off of a Cub, A, B, C, H, or M tractor.

I have 2 or 3 "new" keyed switches for the original but I haven't had time to even put one of them on my own tractor, let alone to find them in my pile of parts that I have tossed to the side. I think mine are for the later model originals....not for sure.

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.
