Default Cub Cadet 100 Wiring to Switch HELP
Hello,
I’m in need of some help with wiring up a new ignition switch on my Cub 100. The previous owner had a 5 prong switch even though for the 100 there are only two wires that go to the switch (light green and black). I bought a new 3 prong switch part# IH-60736-C3 that has terminals marked BAT, IGN and ST. Can someone help confirm which terminal the light green wire should go to and which terminal the black wire should go to? Im assuming one of the green terminals is not required or is that incorrect thinking?

If it’s helpful my Cub has the push button start combo with key ignition.

Thanks,
Clint

OK... you could replace that key switch with just a toggle switch since you have the push button start.

Find two connections that are OFF (open) when the key is "off" and connected when it's in the ON position of the switch.

If you have an ohm meter, it's a 30 sec check. It's probably BAT and Ignition. You got this!

I am in the middle of refurbishing my 100. Someone had a toggle switch for the Ignition switch. I really want a on/off key for mine. So I will be using something like my 8n switch. Its a 2 wire like this

You could use the three wire switch by using the battery terminal and ignition terminal.

You don't need the ST lug. Connect the black and green to BAT and IGN. It dosn't matter which wire goes on which lug.

Correct... it's just a single pole single throw switch

Awesome, thank you all for the quick replies and sharing your expertise! I’ll leave the ST alone and hook up the black and green wires to BAT and IGN as recommended.

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.
