Default Hi from central IL

I had my first new Cub in about 1963 or 1964. It was a Cub 100 for mowing. Eventually we put a single stage snow blower and creeper drive on it. I've had a few others since then. My current model is an 1810. I'm looking for some help with it. It sat in a shed over the summer and mice built a nest in the right side in the engine cooling shroud. Now it won't get a spark. I replaced the ignition switch, I've pulled the yellow wire to the magneto as well as checked for resistance and had 40,000. I suspect the mice may have eaten the spark plug wires while nesting. Any suggestions would be welcome. I'm getting a bit too old to want to pull the engine.

I think you are right. There is something in this area that is not right. I would suggest pulling the shrouds and do an examination, cleaning, and checking the Ignition Modules. You can do this in the tractor, but it is way easier when the engine is on the service bench.

Yes, Welcome to the forum.
As Roland suggested, would be your first move...

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.
