Bad Key Switch?
What do you guys think? Appears to have seen better days.
I went to start the Cub Cadet diesel yesterday and the fan did not kick on, and the glow plugs would not cycle. Lights, fuel pump and starter engage. The pins that have the most corrosion go to the fan and glow plugs.

I would suggest that you wiggle the connections and observe if the conditions
change or use your meter to check for power on the circuits in question. You can also get the new plug and wire ends or replace the pigtail assy and splice it into the wires when you replace the ignition switch. They are easily avail and not too costly. There have been several posts here, about switches/wire terminal problems lately that you can review. |

I'd go with a new switch right off the bat.
Replace all the connectors that go to it as well,(looks like someone has messed with it before as those are not OEM terminals) Down load the wire diagram for your machine and follow it. There should be a combo plug terminal on the end of the wires that go on the back of the switch. Chances are, it melted on the PO due to the corrosion and that's why the wiring looks to have been screwed with. Probably the corrosion is what you are dealing with now....again. Test everything and lube w/some dielectric grease, reinstall nd DON"T let your rig sit out in the elements!! That's what caused these issues in the firs place. While you are at it check the relay on the side of the battery box, it can't be in much better shape than the rest of the connectors. On my 882, it was almost rusted away when I got it. With my luck, putting something like this off, not doing it right and cobbling something together, most likely will result in the switch being NLA when I do get around to properly dealing with the issue. Good luck!! |

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.
