Default 2165 Wiring troubles

Hello, new user...

I have a 2165 from '96-'98 that I'm trying to repair the wiring on. Pictures of all the connections would be helpful!!!! I have the wiring diagram but my interpretation is in question...lol

Problems in particular, the small red wire from starter - does that go to the red wire junction that is behind the firewall, near solenoid (3-4 red wires are joined together there)? Also, the red wire that goes to the PTO clutch is burned and there is a 2nd red wire that comes out of the connector that isn't represented in the diagram. Is that supposed to be there and if so, where does it go? Finally, the black wire that comes out of the key switch, that is missing - - do I need to add a 20 A fuse and attach that to the battery side of the starter solenoid?

Sorry, this wiring is a mess

The small red wire from the Starter Solenoid is an isolated circuit that feeds the Fuel Solenoid in the Carb, to apply power during the "starting process".

Hard to say. It is a live 12VDC + voltage supplied to the Elec PTO at all times, as long as the Ignition Switch is in the "run" position.

YES, that circuit supplies power to the whole system.

Roland, thank you so much for your reply... something you said got me wondering. According to the diagram and what I've seen on the tractor, every red wire on the top half of this diagram seems to be on the same circuit. It seems that all of these are attached to each other in some regard. I suppose that is my question bc even the red wire off the starter seems to connect to the other red wires somewhere on the diagram.

That is correct.

Except for..........The small red wire from the Starter Solenoid is an isolated circuit that feeds the Fuel Solenoid in the Carb, to apply power during the "starting process".

Default Roland, thank you again but I'm going to have to thank you again after answering this

Oh I wish you were here - -

I'm pretty handy with this stuff, but trying to see the diagram put into actual wiring has me confused.

See the red arrow and that junction between the fuel solenoid red wire and the connection to the upper half "R" circuit? When you put the key on start and energize the B and S circuits, the S circuit allows the power to jump across the starter solenoid and go along the B circuit to starter. It then travels up red wire to fuel solenoid but to me it appears it is connected to the R circuit at the red arrow. That would energize the R circuit also. I know I'm wrong but cannot figure where bc I know fuel solenoid has to be powered when tractor is running.

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.
