Just picked up two cub cadets last weekend, a 122 & 127... The 122 is running pretty well and the 127 is a project.
Currently the 127 will not turn the starter using the key, so I checked every wire for continuity and to make sure they were ran properly using a wiring diagram I found in the technical library..The only thing that was incorrect was the fuse (i think thats what it is) coming off the I terminal on the ignition switch, that wire had been cut.... if you follow this link to the 127 diagram you will see what I mean..

I applied power to the starter to make sure it was good and I was able to turn the motor over. Im not sure if this would affect the starter turning over but I also do not have spark...Any advice is definitely appreciated!
