Default Thanks for Wiring Diagram

i recently replaced my rusted out ignition switch, but it was so badly corroded that I could not figure out how it had been wired. With the help of the Cub 1450 Wiring Diagram posted on OCC, I was able to figure out which wire was which, where they came from and where they went, and where they connected to the switch. This made it possible to install the replacement switch ($10 from a local guy who has 30+ cubs in his yard) and fire up the tractor.

And now I am ready for the forecast snow storm - just in time...

But there was one more problem with the old Cub. After having sat out in the weather for too long, not only did the ignition switch rust away, but the fuel bowl float valve got stuck as well, so even though i could crank the engine and fire it using starter spray, it would not keep running until i found the stuck valve down in the fuel bowl.

Now the tractor is back in service and running fine. This tractor came with the property (3 1/2 acres) we bought in 2012 and had been purchased new by Old Ed back in the 1970s, so I sort of feel responsible for keeping it running just as long as humanly possible. This web site helps me to do just that. Thanks!

Welcome to OCC and glad the site could help you!

That tractor will last forever with basic maintenance like that. That generation of cub cadets were called "Quietlines" and they are pretty great aside from the motor mounts going bad. Really pretty bulletproof!

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.
