1882 Ignition Module access
I'm pretty sure my 1882 with a Kohler M18 needs a new ignition module. It has been quitting when hot, starts ok cold. Now it just quit. Ohms read infinity between the two spark plug wires, so per Google AI, it's bad. I know, "artificial" means "not" intelligent, but it seems consistent with other sources. So the question is, how to gain access to the coil. Do I have to pull the engine? Can I just pull the battery shelf, then the fan shrouding? Or is that more work than pulling the engine? What about cutting an access hole in the shrouding? I suspect that would not give enough access to get to the bolts and to set the flywheel clearance gap on the new one. Any experience from someone who has changed a module?

Pull the engine. It is not that hard or time consuming. Plus you can clean everything.
Also, if you get a chinese part there is a chance you will get a good one. Here is some good reading on getting a bad part. He named the tractor skippy. Can you guess why? https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/...ad.php?t=50889

Yep, mine looked like that last friday, but it was wet with 2 quarts of oil because
the seal blew out. What a mess, but it will never happen again, as I made a seal retainer. That seal might wear out, but it is not coming out of the bore ever again

Another vote for pulling the engine. Sounds harder then it is. I know there
are some people that have figured out how to pull the shrouds without pulling the engine but I can't see the point. Go for it, think of all the cool stuff you will learn. And enjoy the project. After all it's why we own all this old stuff. DSCN1130.jpg Ken

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.
