Solenoid wiring
I have a couple of wiring questions regarding a 125 I just picked up a couple of weeks ago. When I got it, it wouldn't start with the key. I could jump across the "magnetic switch" and it would run.
First, is this "magnetic switch" a basic solenoid? I tested the key switch and it turned out good. So, I went and bought a generic Ford style solenoid that has both the "s" and "i" terminals on it. I wired it in like the old one with the wire to the s/g on the "s" terminal. Still no start with the key. On the wiring diagram, this wire is wire #8. Next I tried it on the "i" terminal, still nothing. I ended up clamping the #8 wire to one of the big posts on the solenoid and what do you know--it started with the key. With it running, I noticed the ammeter gauge was all over the place. Could I mess something up with it wired this way? Do I need a Cub specific "magnetic switch?" I'm using the diagram from the manuals found here. Also, the safety switch was disabled before I got the tractor. Ian

A solenoid is a solenoid..the Ford one will work. Do you have the big wire from the 'A' terminal of the S/G to one big terminal on the solenoid, the + battery cable to the other big terminal, and the small wire from the 'S' terminal of the ignition switch to the 'S' terminal of the solenoid. The 'I' terminal is not used.

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.
