Default Ignition switch problem
I bought a used ignition switch for my 108. Once installed though, it will not hold in the "run" position. In other words, it starts fine but when you release the key after it starts, there is no detente at the run position and the spring action sends it back to the off position, thereby shutting it down. It feels like it wants to stop at "run" but there is just not enough resistance to keep it there. Any ideas?

Put a crow bar in your wallet and buy a new switch.

They're maybe 20 bucks but at least you'll get a new one. It sounds like that used one was the wrong switch

It was out of a 128. I was just trying to keep it as original as possible but a new one it is. Kids' college can wait.

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.
