I'm trying to find a replacement ignition switch for my Cub Cadet Model 1250. My switch has 4 stabs whereas all the ones I find on the internet are 3 or 5 stabs. To get to the correct engine diagrams I need my model's year. My serial number is 2050630U638629. Can anyone tell me what year this is? Also, I am being prompt to add more numbers to the 1250. Thanks!

Your tractor was built in October 1978. The last 6 numbers on your S/N, 638629, determine this. The rest denotes the model of tractor, which is indeed a 1250. The "U" means built in the US.

Hope this helps

Keep the tractor under cover when not in use to avoid such problems in the future,
Electronical equipment does not like moisture.
A dab of dielectric grease on the terminal spades may aid as well.

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.
