Default 149 suddenly no juice-HELP
Hello all,

I was enjoying a little seat time today pushing slush in the drizzling rain, when I suddenly hit a chunk of old ice from last week's storm and the blade slipped off the rockshaft. I turned off the motor, unhooked the lift arm from the tractor. The tractor started right up in the rain and I pulled the tractor into the garage and then dragged the blade into the garage. I hooked the blade back up OK, but when I tried to re-start the tractor...DEAD, I mean nothing, no click, the amp meter needle didn't move, nothing. I tightend up all the grounds I could think of, and checked all connections, seem OK. I went ahead and put the charger on the battery, but it started right up last week and today with no problem. The amp meter shows a charge while running. I believe the PO bypassed the seat safety switch, but I'm always sitting when I start it with the brake applied. The brakes do need adjusting, but I use the hydro to stop and go anyway.

What are some likely culprits? Thanks in advance!!

I recently put a new plug and plug wire on.

Check the "Neutral Safety Switch" from the left pedal. Maybe the wires came off that 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.
