1812 electrical
Just a placeholder before I can trouble shoot this, but my 1812 ignition switch isnt working.
First, the oil light wouldnt come on with the key turned. Pressing and pulling sideways on the back plug and it would come and go. So seemed like a connector issue. Got it in a happy spot and even then the solenoid would click click click before after about 10 attempts it would catch and turnover. Now its not doing anything... I even disconnected it while running and it stayed running! Didnt expect that..., I can take the switch entirely off while running and it keeps running. Also, once running the switch is no longer turning it off. So basically, the switch does nothing. There IS a ground wire to the motor (green wire on the motor shroud screw). But I remember one of the tractors had a ground from that same screw to the frame where the firewall bolts down. This smells like a grounding issue (to my untrained non expert completely unknowledgeable eye/nose....) Course it was -4 this morning and a high of 7 today. The driveway is scraped 'good enough' until the weather warms - says 40's on Wednesday so that might be a good time to take a look. Stay tuned as I go through the motions. (have the wiring diagram and its pretty straightforward, just need a coffee and some warmer weather). (yes, it DOES turn over jumping the solenoid with a screwdriver and does run. Note I havent tried starting it with the switch pulled out - I didnt do that until after it was already running). And was wondering if the connector pins wear out, so maybe I need to pull the wires out of the back of the connector and inspect. But first... grounding. Especially since it wont turn off something isnt cutting out the ignition juice.

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.
