Push Button Starters

[John P]

Does anybody know if the push button starters were a common or a actual option on the Cub ?.I have seen a few tractors with them.John

If you are referring to the ones with the push button on the dash, during certain years that was standard. After that there was a key switch/starter on the last few years of production. I'd have to check the parts manual to see when these were made. Raymond's database might have it noted.

Early 70's for sure. Not sure when it started or stopped.

64 to 75.

64 to 75.

My 74 is key start.

started in 64 when they became 12 volt, I have a 72 with button and a 73 with key start

[Jim Becker]

All 6-volt had the pull rod. They went to the panel mounted push switch with the change to 12-volt. The push switch was replaced with the key switch operated magnetic switch in mid-1972.

I stand corrected.

The tractors i saw were pre 1955 anyway thanks for all your help .John

If they were pre-1955, then it was a custom modification.

True push button start Cubs have the button mounted in the dashboard below the light switch.

My 1951 Cub has a push button mounted on the steering post like a Farmall H. Entirely custom, because I did it. The tractor's converted to 12V with a 12V starter that doesn't have a place for the saddle switch, so I built a bracket for a starter button.

Thats what i was thinking in the first place but thought i would ask anyway.John
