Early toggle switch
Curious, did the early 47-48 Cubs use a toggle switch instead of the push pull switch to start and stop motor? My 48 has a toggle and I have seen a few others with the same toggle that is short with a ball end.

Re: Early toggle switch
They used a push/pull switch. Most people replaced them with toggle switches because they were cheaper.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Re: Early toggle switch
I saw one with a covered toggle switch. It was for the ultra-rare rocker launcher option some cubs had.
When you only have 9 horsepower you need to know the names of all of the ponies!

Re: Early toggle switch
Hi,
Below is a page from the 1947 Cub operator's manual, showing the ignition switch, and the dash the way they originally were.

Below are pics from TM Tractor of the original style ignition switch, it is the 1 post switch for a magneto.
http://www.tmtractor.com/tm-tractor/gel ... ng_001.htm
Below is what TM Tractor sells nowadays, it says it is a Case IH part.

They sell a lower priced switch also.
If your Cub has been changed to a Battery Ignition unit, it needs a different ignition switch, with 2 posts.
