Default 1450 not turning over

I'm having trouble getting my 1450 to turn over. Battery and engine are fine. I'm thinking its something to do with a safety switch or neutral switch or the like because it was starting and running beautifully. Does anyone know of such a switch that may be dirty, out of adjustment, or damaged? Where is it located? And how do I know if it needs replacement?

There is a Neutral Safety Switch that is engaged when the Left Brake Pedal is depressed. The switch is located on a bracket on the under side of the frame, near the pedal. Two wires go to it. AS A TEST.....you could temporarily jumper these two wires to test the starting circuit.

Item 15 is the neutral safety switch. Pull the two wires off the switch, connect them with some copper wire. If the switch is bad, they are hard to find. Be aware, when the switch is by-passed the engine will start if it is gear.

Don the start circuit also goes through normally closed contacts of the Pto switch. Have you tries to wiggle the Pto switch while in the start position? You'll have to get a test light and look at quiet line wiring diagram if these two tests don't solve your issues.

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.
