Default 1450 ignition coil
I have no spark on my 1450. It has a Bosch blue coil and ran great last fall. I tried another coil off of my 108 and it fired right up. The coil was new last year and has 3.9 ohms resistance from the - to the + and 9.1k ohms from the tower to the +. Are these blue coils known to suddenly fail? Is there another check I can preform? I’m just curious as to why this one quit working.

Thanks!

You will never know why it stopped working.
Unless you left the key on and it smoked itself.

Not that we have a direct line to the Technical Service Dept at Bosch, but we have not heard of failures.

If it has that resistance now i would think it would work. Maybe you wiggled a wire or key switch just right. I would bet on the key switch failing before that coil. Did i ever say i hate key switches and old ones are even worse. Yes i have. and i have one failing on a 169 right now. Mike

Sounds like it's time to break out the test light.
For starters,
Make sure you have juice to the coil w/the key on.
If so, make sure the test light flashes on the other coil terminal when you crank the engine over.
If not, check the points.

Since he said it runs with the coil off his 108, I would think it is a coil problem

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.
