SOI,
Thanks for the pics and explanation.

Matt,
I'm all about saving money. The unfortunate fact is the switch is pretty much six foot under and needs replaced anyway. Not doing it just to troubleshoot.

Hope to do some messing around with it tomorrow. Supposed to rain, so that means cubtime.

IT'S ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE!

Spent the day tracing the whole wiring harness checking for worn through/frayed spots. Only wire with a problem was the wire from the solenoid to the starter. The PO had wrapped duct tape around the bare spot. Got that fixed correctly then made sure the ground had good contact. Installed the new ignition switch, the new coil, ran a new ignition wire to the coil and double checked everything. Turned the key and she fired right up. Ran it for a couple minutes and no problems. Actually went out and ran a few rounds with the mower till the mule drive belt roached itself.

Turned out the problem was a bad coil. Thanks everyone for giving suggestions that helped sniff out the problem. Glad to get her running so I can move on to the next project. They keep lining up like little kids.

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.
