Default 1782 PTO engage but wont stay on
A year ago I bought a 1782 for a good deal. the guy said he had it rewired a number of years ago because mice had chewed a mess of things. It has been running and mowing. Recently I was mowing and it died as if a safety switch was triggered. Now I can start it and engage the pto, but when I let go of the pto switch into the ON position, the pto disengages. The PTO will stay engaged if I hold the switch up. Curious on where I should start to diagnose this issue.
Thanks

My first question is did he wire it to the original drawing or did he just wire it up to make it work?

I'm not 100% sure how true to the original wiring it was re-done, but from my amateur (minimal) knowledge on wiring, I'd say it looks like it could go either way. I assume it follows the wiring diagram but haven't investigated that closely.

Looks like it could be the seat switch. It is not allowing the reverse relay to stay on or the relay is bad.

First place I always go when things like you describe happen.
Seat switch as was mentioned or brake switch or some kinda safety.
Don't know that I have seen anything except a safety create what
you're experiencing.

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.
