Lew, I am thinking the ones you have have an issue with the brake switch. Which really isn't far fetched, as it's a dual switch and most all of that series safety features have been "worked on".

Here is the Cub Cadet Wiring Diagram, sectioned to only include the PTO and Start Circuit. It is simplified and Color Coded.

Getting back to what I said earlier, the Brake Pedal Switch and the Seat Switch......in the normal or relaxed position......causes a path (or short) to ground to kill the engine. IF........either one is depressed.... it opens the circuit and allows the engine to run.

I understand that, But, your butt has to be in the seat and the pedal down on those models, must be a service bulletin for these early models as all the others 1440,1641 and even the 2284 I had did not have to have to sit on the seat to start.

Nice diagram!

Well Lew, there is only ONE wiring diagram and you are looking at it. If there was a alteration or modification, show us.

Gents,

Thanks to all who took the time of share your knowledge.

After taking apart all connections in the circuit and cleaning everything I got the engine to crank. Checked for spark and it's nice and bright. Used some lighter fluid and got the motor to pop over several times. Next job is to clean out the fuel tank and get it to run so I can check out the hydro.

Thanks again...this is a great site for Cub owners.

Thanks for the links.

It runs, hour meter shows 990 hours. Drained the gas, cleaned the carb and put some fuel line clamps on where needed and it starts and runs pretty well, no smoke. Have some governor adjustment to look at. Will see where this leads.

Tranny is great...was concerned, it has the Sunstand pump and I was concerned that it might have been towed but all is well with it.

Starter needs to be serviced....lots of growling when engaged.

Plastic grill mount will require some work but the hood and side panels are good.

What exactly is the governor doing or not doing? Just a FYI those engines are prone to governor failures leading to catastrophic engine failure.

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.
