Default 1450 seat switch

I'm looking to install a "operators presence" seat switch in my 1450 so the engine won't start and will shut off if nobody is sitting in the seat. Basically a seat switch like on the 82 Series. My question is where in the wiring harness would I install the switch? I'm thinking maybe between the I terminal in the Ignition Switch and the + Coil terminal?

You would be correct.

The switch proper would have to be under the seat so as to be operative when someone has their butt in the seat

Perhaps you could install a weight-detecting sensor that lets the operator know they're getting too fat

Thanks for the replies. I've got Roland's colorized March 2006 wiring diagram which is how I came to think the ignition switch to coil wire was the right place to splice a switch into. Yeah, I know the switch has to go under the seat and it seems the correct switch is the 925-3060. Hopefully I've got one in my box of spare CC parts. I may use the 720-3001 seat spring from my 782 because on that tractor I've already bypassed the switch.

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.
