It appears you have bare wires at the S/G on the battery terminal. I'm not sure what the rest of the wiring looks like, but that is a dead short waiting to happen. If you don't get that fixed, you may be looking for another tractor. Unhook the battery, and see what the rest of the wiring looks like. If you need to get it going, you can run a jumper from the coil wire direct to battery positive to run it to move. Don't forget you will have to unhook the wire to shut it off. I strongly suggest getting a hold of member Mlamar and ordering a new wiring harness. Doesn't look like yours is worth trying to patch up. Looks like the wire coating is very brittle.


Thanks Jonathan! Yeah that bare wire is where I believe the coil was attached, as it was covered in crumbling shrink tubing as was the coil wire. I just touched it and it flaked off. I will definitely get a new wire harness. Better safe than sorry.

If you refuse to replace the harness, I would bare minimum get the wires at the S/G repaired, and run a new coil wire from the ignition switch all the way to the coil.
That sounds like the plan.

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.
