What is it and why?
While I have the engine out of the 1862 I have been cleaning up all the
wiring and fixing safeties etc. Figured if I want to get some work out of the grandkids I better fix the safeties. Trying to figure out what this is and what it is for. If it is a PO fix can't see going to all this trouble for a broken wire. If it is factory I don't know what for. It is where the orange wire from seat safety terminates at the plug going into the dash lights. Whatever it is it doesn't work, I have no continuity from seat switch to the plug. I do however have continuity from seat switch to the orange wire prior to just before it goes through whatever this is, so the wiring itself is sound. Any thought you electrical gurus. Thanks Ken

That is part of a tubular fuse holder. Two plastic ends like that hold a tubular fuse between them and connect with just a quarter turn. You can find those at any auto parts store and easily replace it or put a pop-in fuse holder with fuse in its place if you want.

That is a Diode (black device with a band one one end). I looked at the 1862 Wiring Diagram and the 1862 Parts Manual and can NOT find one, OEM from Cub Cadet. Looks like a PO modification.

Wonder why you would need a Diode there. Keeping in mind I don't even
know what a diode is for. Do you only get continuity in a diode when it has power going through it? Should I get continuity through it no matter what? My inclination it to get rid of it and run wire to the plug direct. thanks for the help. Ken

In simple terms, a Diode only allows current to flow "one way". Sounds like some DIY PO had some light bulb dream and he would out engineer Cub Cadet...

A diode is often used in any circuit where there is a coil. Like a relay or the PTO clutch. The one in the picture is pretty robust so it is probably in the PTO circuit
The coil stores energy and releases it when the power it turned off. The stored energy can shoot back upstream and destroy sensitive components. These days, almost all relays have this kind of diode in the circuit. I have one to protect the EFI computer on my 2364i.

Here is a diagram or the indicator harness and its connections.

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.
