Red face Electrical IH CC 1250
So I got my 1250 lubbed up and decided to spin the engine a few times. After a few unsuccessful attempts and finally getting the battery terminals hooked up correctly.... lol She's spinning like a top! Unfortunately I had to hot wire directly to the starter. I went back to the solenoid and hot wired from the battery post on the solenoid to the small switch wire and she spins.

I've checked the fuses and have the safety switch depressed.... Got nothing with key. The lights are gone so no help there.

Without... a meter how can I check the switch wire from the solenoid to the key switch?

The LH brake Pedal has to be depressed as well as the PTO Switch has to be in the OFF position.

IF the above is done, then you have a bad wire, wire connection, or bad device.

Go to the Technical Library Section on page #5 and get the Q/L wiring diagram.

And get a test light or a meter. I believe they sell BOTH at Wal-Mart......... Doing electrical work without the tools is like changing a tire without a wrench.

Agree with J-mech, meters are cheap and a whole lot of help, not just with Cubs but all kinds of machines and around the house too.

Any time a Quietline starter doesn't engage the first thing I try is to wiggle the PTO switch. They have a bad habit of getting intermitten. Hold the starter switch on and wiggle the PTO switch, and they often find a spot where you get a connection.

Okay!

I got elect to the PTO switch but nothing coming out. I hot wired around the switch and she spins.

Is it worth it to try and clean the switch or should I just get a new one?

I'd try cleaning the terminals first. Unless you have been having trouble with the PTO engaging. If so, it probably needs a new one. Sometimes a little sandpaper does the trick!

I had sort of the same problem with mine, I went through all the terminals and cleaned them up + blew out and used some fine grit sand paper on the female block connectors, and BAM it started right up, and my lights finally worked LoL. But a meter is definitely worth the few bucks and it saves a lot of time.

good luck!

Nobody has mentioned.

To diagnose and repair electrical problems, often a large bottle of aspirin is necessary. Or MANY

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.
