I bought the switch at a Cub cadet dealer using the part# from a Cub parts manual. It looked the same as the original switch I removed.I was an MTD switch if that makes any difference.
Give me the serial number for your machine and the part number for the switch that you bought and I'll double check it for you.

Edit: I looked up the 3184, they only used 1 switch the part number is 925-3163

Sam, That's the number on the MTD parts bag I bought.The Cub cadet parts manual say the key switch is #725-3165 !! I guess that 925-3163 is a cross ref. # BTW the ser# for my 3184 is 3908205901. Thanks so much.

I got the number from the Cub Cadet parts site. As long as your using the number I gave you the problem is probably in your wiring.

I bought a John Deere switch for a 318 and it would not work on my model. I do not know about your model tractor but some of the parts are not the same for all models. Look on the back of the switch and see if the bars are the same as your old one. You can always leave the switch out of the equation and just wire the wires together and see if that is your problem. It sounds to me like you have two wires going to the wrong terminal. If the hour meter is running just because it is plugged in then the on/off position on the switch is backwards and you have the off going to the on and vice versa. You might also have reversed the wires on the PTO switch which will make it only start when the switch is out instead of in. Definitely a wiring problem. On your model does it stop by grounding the ignition? If it does then you have the run wire grounded either by a short or the wrong terminal. Let Sam help you with the wiring diagrams.

Thanks so much. I found the wiring diagram for the 3000 series on the net. I'm going to trace these wire down and as you say I may have hooked them up wrong !! LOL Will check and get back to to you folks !

As far as the wiring goes on these machines I would defer to Roland and Oak. I have never worked on a 3000 series Cub so my knowledge is extremely limited.

I know what you mean Sam. I'm not much of a "Wire Man" either !! LOL
Leaning toward maybe the safety switches now. After reading more on the net about them I see that they can cause the PTO and/or engine to shut down when the brake pedal is released. Your thoughts sir.

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.
