1440 - can't start using key switch
Must set brake, turn key switch to run and jump from + battery to starter. Tractor runs, PTO works, lights work, seat and brake safety switches work.
Checked key switch with meter. All positions check out with wiring diagram except in the 'Off' position I get continuity between ground lug and 'M' lug AND between ground lug and 'L' lug. The wiring diagram does not say I should get continuity between the ground lug and the 'L' lug. Solenoid was replaced a year or two ago. Any thoughts? |

In looking at the 1440 Wiring Diagram, coming out of the "S" terminal on the Ignition Switch, power then goes to the Brake Switch (Red & Red/Blk wires) then on to the PTO Switch (red & red wires) then on to the Solenoid. Thus, to start the engine, the Brake must be depressed and the PTO switch must be off.
This of course is considering that all devices are working correctly and the wiring is good.

Thanks for your suggestions. Using the wiring schematic, I believe the issue is with the brake switch. The only reason I didn't think the switch would be the problem is that I replace the switch about 2 years ago. Ordered a new switch but won't replace until late fall when I remove the mower deck for the snow plow. Can't easily access the switch with the mower deck installed. Real pain to remove the deck and the hanger.

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.
