Cub 124 HELP PLEASE!
9 years ago when I was 12, I bought a 1969 Cub 124 from my grandpa. A year after I had it I broke a rod. Everything worked fine on it besides the fact the engine was no longer running. I'm 21 now and have gotten the tractor back into the garage to restore it. I have taken it apart and painted it. Put a new rod in it and put it all back together just as I had taken it apart.
The problem: When I first picked up the tractor to start working on it, I did a diagnosis to see where to start fixing it. I tried turning the key to crank it to reassure myself it was a rod because the last time I messed with it was 9 years ago. I turned the key and nothing happened. I hooked a jumper to it because the battery was bad and turned the key but still nothing. I had a good friend that is a mechanic with me and he used a screw driver or something to get the engine to crank. I'm not a great mechanic so I don't know exactly what he did but he bypassed the key or did something to get it to crank over. I'm guessing he jumped a solenoid or something? Like I said I'm not great. I have experience as I have rebuilt my car engine but when it comes to electrical stuff I'm lost. I have bought a new battery, new leads(terminals), and used a wire brush on all connections to insure a good connection. Now I have it all reassembled and turn the key and nothing. I need to know where to place the screw driver or jumper wire to just try to crank it so I can see if it will start. I know I will need a new solenoid or key switch or something or another. If someone with experience could please tell me exactly what parts to replace I would be glad to as I am eager to get this thing going! It is very sentimental to me as my grandmother passed away at the young age of 58 from cancer when I was 14 which was 2 years after I bought this tractor. I can remember her convincing my grandpa to let me buy it as I begged him to and it is a memory I hold onto. I want to pass this down generations and keep it in the family. Another problem I have is where the throttle and choke cables connect. I believe I have the brackets in the right spots and the choke and throttle cables both hooked up correctly but it doesn't seem right. If anyone can show me a diagram or picture of the correct setup I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time and any help you might offer! Chris

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.
