Question LTX 1045 - Animal ate wires!

Model: 13WX91AT056
LTX 1045 bought Spring 2012

I’ve got what looks like a dog/ rat/ raccoon/ rock climber ripped the wires off the right side (from the driving position) of the motor.

I’ve searched the entire internet for a wiring diagram. I found three, and none show two brown wires coming out of a relay which attaches to the back corner of the motor behind the starter, and two brown wires coming out of an aluminum looking module above the relay.

I’ve identified and reconnected all but the brown wires. I’ve tried hooking them to each other in different combinations and NOTHING works. It turns over, the display shows hours, headlights come on. Will not fire.

The schematics look like there is a serial dependency on seat, brake, and (manual ) PTO all being part of why I would get no start.

Connection of the brown wires in any combination will not light the parking brake or PTO lights when those items are engaged.

If someone has some hands/ eyes on and can please tell me if I am missing a plug or if these wires were torn out of some other piece that is missing, that would be a big help.

Do the headlight and (white) coil wire and (red) after fire wire go through a plug anywhere in front of the starter?

Please help if you have one of these or a good electrical schematic with pictures of what goes where?

First, welcome to OCC...........

How about you snapping some picture(s) and posting them here so we can get a better understanding.

Hello- Thanks for the response.

Pictures will show two brown wires coming out of a relay connecting to nothing and two brown wires coming out of a cast aluminum looking module behind the starter connecting to nothing.

I have four wire ends which when connected to each other in any combination will not allow the mower to start.

In a perfect world, someone with this same tractor could post pix of the wires on the right side of the motor with the starter removed so I could see what the brown ones go to.

NONE of the schematics I have found on line show brown wires.

On a different note, does anyone know how to go around ALL safeties on this machine so I can get it to fire up? I need to mow soon.

Yes some of us do know how to circumvent safety devices to enable starting/operation of things, but due to the sue happy people/court systems we do not divulge such, to protect ourselves from litigation.
Sad how some individuals have caused so many problems in our society by wanting something for nothing.
Next thing you know they will be printing un backed money and giving it away freely, but I won't go there,
as it is a political thing.

No, it's a bitter pill shoved down the throats of hard working people.

I was talking about the animal that ate the wires, not whatever conspiracy you were prattling on about.

ok understand.
Never knew why critters chewed wire insulation other than to keep their teeth sharp.
I've had rat/mice damage to spark plug, gauge wires and power wires on farm trucks.
Also they like to chew lighting wires on the combine but figure they liken the taste to the corn dust on them.

One fall morning I had a coon go through the main threshing polyvee belt upon start up .
Oh what a mess that was to clean up, not much left of the coon but guts and hair.
To this day I still find some remains of hair in the engine compartment.
Guess it crawled in the engine compartment because it was warm after a late evening shutdown.
Ever since, I open the engine compartment door for a check just to make sure no critters are sleeping late.

That happened to a kitten once, in my girlfriend's Camaro. Not a pretty sight.

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.
