Exclamation 1811 struggles help please!

My 1811 has been sitting for about 4 years and the only thing it will do with a fully charged battery, is turn the oil pressure light on. I tried to start it by pushing in the micro switch underneath but still nothing not even cranking over. I have a lot of knowledge about my one cylinder 149 but this whole twin cylinder thing is sort of new and not as simple, plus just about everything has a guard on it. Any help is appreciated thanks in advance!

What micro switch are you pushing? Look on the back of ignition switch and you should see a black plug. Unplug and then plug it back up and see if it cranks then. You may have a loose connection there. Do you have a electrical schematic? It could be the switch on the brake pedal.

Electrical problems are near impossible to diagnose over the internet. You have to have at least a moderately basic understanding in order for this to work. If you have that, then all you really need is a diagram.

Here is a link to the manual, which contains a diagram.
http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=25397

The key switch is on the dash. I'm sure you are aware of where it is.
The starter solenoid is under the seat next to the battery on the left side.
Key tells the solenoid to engage via the small wire on the small terminal.
The PTO must be off, and the brake set assuming that it has a working brake switch, and PTO switch. (They have to work.)
The brake switch is located under the machine just about below the steering wheel just slightly on the right side. It's a two wire switch.

Check out the diagram, test the circuit, find the issue, fix it, good to go.
For the record, a twin cylinder machine is just as simple to work on as your single cylinder and has all the same basic parts, just in different locations.

I pressed the brake switch under the cover, off to the right side.

Do all of the switches have to be connected in order to run? A few are disconnected.

Did you look at the wiring diagram? It shows what ones it takes to make it crank. Do we need to explain the diagram? If needed I can go through it.....

No but thank you I appreciate the diagram and I have looked at it but now I just need to get to the starter and test it with a light bulb to make sure it is getting power. I have also traced the wires to the power I'm getting so now I know wich wires are getting power and wich are not. I'm slowly getting there .

Here is the "start circuit" for your tractor. It is labeled as 682/782 but is the same as the 1811.

Actually, quite the opposite.

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.
