Which can be prevented the same way it was before there was a solenoid. Simply by letting the engine idle for a short while before shutting it off. Which you should do anyway. That practice makes for longer engine life anyway, and should be done whether there is a solenoid or not. I'd delete it and not think twice.

They at times will after run after a good work out, even when idling for a while before turning off. Blowing up a muffler is more costly that just purchasing a carburetor and fixing it as it was intended to be. Never the less, his problem is not the solenoid, it is probably a 50 cent diode.

When I got back to the shop today I tried it and it fired right off. I did connect my battery tender to it tonight and it showed that it is low on charge. Short term plan will be to leave it on the tender and try in a couple days. I hope its is simple as a battery issue, but if not then on to the diode or carb from there.

Once I get past this and the leaky PS valve, then at least the tractor will be useable... PS leaks BAD. Then I can work on the little things one at a time.

Good thing you got it figured out. I’d rather put in a new battery than tear into that wiring harness.

Update--- Kept the 2182 hooked up to the battery tender for several days. Went out this morning and it fired right up. Gonna let it sit another couple days and try again before I can say its a bad battery. Would have never suspected the battery based on how well the starter was turning the engine over. Hopefully this is a nice easy fix...

Further Update: Looks as if the battery is not the issue after all. Tractor is acting up just the same. I had some time this evening to investigate more. My discovery is that by testing with a voltmeter, when the key is in the "on" position, there is 12 volts to the fuel cut off solenoid on the carb. However once you turn the key to the "start" position, voltage to the carb solenoid drops to 7 volts. Interesting part is that you get this same condition if the key is turned even without the brake pedal depressed. Voltage is bleeding off in the harness somehow.

Probably at the ignition switch. Check the connections on the switch. Common problem.

There is always Sams fix for solenoids.

None of my stuff has solenoids, if it's not there it can't break.

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.
