I had a similar situation when I brought my 122 home. I found that the connections on the ignition switch were corroded. I was able to wire-brush it and get it going. Also might be internal of the ignition switch.
Hope this helps.

First, punctuation is your friend. It's not easy to understand what you've done.

That said, did you know that there a problem with the original harness that made you change it? If the harness is correct for this tractor, if it is in good condition, and if you installed it correctly, the problem is not with the wiring; count the ifs, though. I agree with checking out the ignition switch.

If I were in your shoes I would connect the jumper cables from your car/truck to the battery of your Cub and see if it will then start/turn over.

I would venture to say that the three most common problems with a Cub Cadet not turning over are, the Battery not being fully charged, Bad Grounds and Faulty Neutral Safety Switch.

Check your Neutral safety switch next (not because I think it is a more likely problem, rather because it either works properly, or it doesn't) if it works as it should then you can put it behind you and move on.

If the N/S switch proves to be good then check your grounds.

If that doesn't correct the problem, the go to the tech section and find the wiring diagram for your machine. Using the diagram and your 12 volt test light, start at the battery (pos to neg) check for a good bright light. Then, following the wiring diagram, work your way to the S/G, the wire, junction or intersection where the electrical flow stops is where your problem is. It really is that that simple.

The starting system on these machines is very basic and it really should not take very long to discover where the problem is.

Good Luck

I would try jumping a wire across the amp guage and see if anything different happens.

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.
