Well, I learned quite a bit about my Cub today. Wiring is all good, just had to reroute and reconnect the correct ground from the harness. And, I do have a light switch, it's on the side of the tractor behind the pto lever which seems pretty dumb but at least I have one and all the lights work. I'll probably move it to the hole where the power lift switch would be. Now the bad stuff I learned: The start/gen is still not charging so it wasn't just the loose belt. It still turns over slowly and now it's because the PTO isn't disengaging and I'm turning the snowthrower too. I could've sworn I looked at the driveshaft while cranking it over last night but maybe I didn't notice but I think it popped on while I was driving it down the ramp out of my shed because the tractor quit as soon as I pulled it out into the driveway and stopped. I pulled the lever all the way back and wedged a screwdriver to hold it but it still doesn't seem to be completely disengaged. It appears to work like a manual transmission clutch, do they wear out like a clutch? I'm going to search the site for relevant threads but any tips or links would help. I hope it can be adjusted because it looks like a pain in the a$$ to get to and I really just want to tear into some snow with this beast!
And yeah desperado, real close. I used to live in East Concord, now I'm right off 240 across from KB.
Thanks everyone, glad to be a member of the site. I'll try and get a couple photos up at work tomorrow.
