Hello Forum,
Getting no reaction when turning ignition switch to start. This occurred a year ago & then again today. Battery is fully charged--lights turn on to full bright. When it happened last year I left it for a while then attempted a restart--cranked over & started right up. Earlier this year it was not charging, so I replaced regulator & checked all wiring which proved not the problem. Finally, replaced ignition switch (thanks to a tip on this forum) & that solved that issue. Appreciate any input on this--unit is a 1974 model. Thanks, John |

Check the solenoid to be sure it is being energized when turning the key to the start position.
Make sure you have power to the small terminal with the key in the start position. if you do, the issue is with the solenoid. Try jumping across the 2 large posts. It should crank. |

Did you leave it out in the rain? Might be corrosion on the ignition switch terminals.

The PTO switch must be off (electrically open), and the brake safety switch made (electrically closed) to complete the ignition circuit.
Is the spring metal flapper pushing down on the safety switch, when the brake pedal is latched down? You need to check the PTO switch and safety switch with a VOM, to be sure. Sometimes they fail internally.

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.
