Default 1450 not starting

Hi guys- I accidentally posted this in the other forum- I think this is the right spot for it!

Hi guys, I am happy to have found this forum!

My family has a 1974 Cub Cadet 1450 that has been running great for years. The last time I used it, there was no problem with it. The other day I went to start it & pushed down the brake pedal & a piece of metal came out (about 1/2 the size of a credit card) and fell on the ground.

I turned the key & there was no cranking or clicking or anything. I don't know if this piece of metal is a coincidence or not, but I'm thinking maybe the pedal safety switch could be broken? Any thoughts?

Thanks!

It is probably the "flapper" that engages the Neutral Safety Switch that engages when the Brake Pedal is depressed.

For "temporary or testing" purposes, you can jumper this switch out. You will need to order CC932-3000 Spring, switch.

OK, thank you very much. I took it apart last night and was a bit puzzled by how the brake shaft triggers a switch and how that small piece of metal came into play. After a while of poking around, I thought maybe another piece fell out that I didn't see- I was right. On the mower deck, there was a longer metal piece that also broke off.
I found the switch and pushed it and it fired right up. Now I just need to order the metal piece and attach it to the brake shaft. Thanks for your help!

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.
