Default 1810 pto problem
My 1810 dies when I engage it most of the safety switches are disconnected, I have a new battery in it. No belt or deck installed, engine dies immediately when I hit the switch any idea what is causing it to do that would be appreciated. I have tried other pto switches that I know work but still happens.

Have you tried to just use a jumper to power the pto with the belt removed? This would rule out any wiring issues with the switch.

Any chance that you replaced the key switch just before this started happening?

I haven’t tried a jumper wire yet I will today and I don’t think I have changed the ignition switch but maybe. I get them mixed with three different cubs I guess I should write down what I do to each one so I can remember

I ask about the key switch because they may all look similar on the outside but different part number switches will make different contacts on the inside per how each tractor model is wired.
A wrong p/n key switch can cause many malfunctions that make you crazy.
Just throwing food at the wall.

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.
