2186 25amp fuse blows
Call me electrically challenged.
This mower has 404 hours on it. All the wires appear to be good, still wrapped in the harness. As your sitting on the seat facing forward, it's the 25amp to the left side of the panel. I traced the two wires from the fuse holder to the directly to the switch so I suspected a bad switch. I replaced the switch and the fuse and I only turned the key to the first position, I didn't want to introduce the starter into the mix. As soon as it hits the first position on the switch the fuse blows. I really have no idea what to check next. I was going to start unplugging the pto, removing the starter wires but decided to ask you guys first. Thanks for any help. oh, battery is good and pto clutch new last year.

Check the wires going to the head lights. I bet you have a grounded wire there.

My 1862 was doing that and it turned out to be a broken headlight bulb grounding out.

Also look for any possible wire shorted to ground/hot exhaust/chaffed .

Update....
Thanks guys! I looked closer at the wires going to the headlights and thought I spotted some insulation sliced. I had the tractor owner take a look since his eyes are 40 years younger than mine and we found where a wire or maybe two must have been rubbing against the edge of a piece of metal. He electrical taped it and he is now good to mow! I sold him this tractor 3 years ago and he lives just down the road and he graduated with my son so I help him out with it. Last year we replaced the pto clutch with one of the Extremes. Saved him a bundle there and he learned how to replace the clutch. It's really great that I can come on here and present my problem and get the help that I need. Just like having a good neighbor next door! Thanks again.

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.
