PTO switch bypass ?
Is there a way to bypass the 1811 PTO switch with a wire just to get it started ? Bear with me , I'm not an electrician . I'm just trying to find out which switch is bad and I've already tried bypassing the clutch switch with no luck . Sorry , wrong section , should be one thread up .

Jumping across the solenoid will bypass all safety switches. Sounds like either a bad electrical connection from starter solenoid to the starter motor, bad starter motor, bad/discharged battery, or stuck engine. I have had a Cub with a M18 flooded so full of fuel that it refused to crank over due to being hydrolocked. I pulled the spark plugs out and it shot fuel out of one cylinder several feet in the air. After changing the oil, it ran great.

So I guess I'll throw a new PTO switch on it first to make sure it's not it . Then I'll have to go thru thru the above list .
 I was always able to jump the starter as long as it was grounded , not even this is working . I think I do have a starter laying around also , we'll try that also . Thanks ! I need all the help I can get with this electrical stuff .

So , problem found . That didn't take too long either ! Ran the jump box to the solenoid . Nothing . Ran the box to the starter itself and made sure it was a good ground . The damn thing started right up ! So , either a bad wire between the solenoid and the starter or the solenoid is bad . Do you agree ?

Yes, agreed. Most likely a bad solenoid. The large cable from the starter to the solenoid is easily tested if you have a digital volt ohm meter. There is a continuity tester, and test for resistance.
The solenoid is MTD 725-3001 or 925-3001.

I do and I will test it tomorrow Cub , I'm 2 minutes away from Jack's Small Engines so it's no big issue . I'll get her fired back up tomorrow . My son did a film of the tractor running and cutting . That motor is a sweet sounding 18 , better than any of my Supers I had years back .
Thanks for your time Cub , as always much appreciated .

This turned out to be a bad wire and a bad solenoid . She's running great now . Almost had a catastrophy though . I had taken the shrouds off the M18 to get to the starter earlier in the week . I put all the bolts and nuts in a plastic container and threw the container on the exhaust under the hood so I wouldn't lose them . Wired up the solenoid and started the tractor . Had it idling and started smelling something that didnt smell right . Popped the hood and found the container melted and on fire . Got it out with no damage to the tractor , only my pride .

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.
