Not looking right now. Too much work to get to it in the detached garage while it's raining. (I got the lawn mowed for now so, no hurry)

Default So that wasn't it
Took a moment to look at the 1250 thinking that if it's a safety switch, I have another one.
But for kicks, I sat on the tractor and tried to start it before checking anything. It works. So, it must have something to do with being hot. Isn't that indicative of a coil problem? Anything else? please.

Condenser?? I know condensers will make run erratic but will it keep you from running? Maybe

But yes. could be coil

If the coil goes bad when it is hot, the engine will still roll over when the starter is engaged. It just won't start due to lack of spark.

Had to go back and look. Roland is correct. You had a crank issue last time right?

I had a similar issue with my 149, the switch spring had broken almost all of the way and would sometimes have enough to push the button. It would not work because it was broken, but somehow did until I fixed it.

I had nothing at all. Turn the key and no sound or anything.

If it came back on it's own, I'd say you have a bad connection. Check the starting circuit over.

My 1912 has done this since I got it. I traced and retraced wires after it started this crap, and I just happened to mess with the switch on the right side (it has two PTO switches) while turning the key, and it cranked. This only happens after running the engine with the PTO on. If I jiggle it while turning the key and it starts, and I run it without turning the PTO on, it will start up again later without the jiggle method.

Not trying to steal the thread here, just agreeing that could be the issue with an explanation of my experience with a similar issue.

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.
