I was pulling the 149 in the garage to work on the "surging" hydro issue, and as soon as I got it in, the motor just died, no chugging, pops, etc, just plain old died. Now nothing happens when I turn the ignition, no clicks, etc. Can this be as simple as a fuse? Perhaps related to the hydro issue? Any ideas certainly welcome. It is a great running engine with a new carb, points, and plug (when running, of course). Thanks in advance, Marty

Sounds like a charging issue to me. Are you sure your battery has a good charge in it? I'd check all grounds too.

Yes I had charged the battery before starting it, and it died less than 50 feet from where it started, and I put the charger back on it, and it was only drawing about 1.5 amps so the battery had/has a good charge.

Sounds like a bad wire or cable connection somewhere.

I gotta agree with Roland... definitely electrical.
I have heard tell of ignition switches going bad, never had one do it myself though. Use your jumper cables and jump the S/G off your truck, Pos. to "A" terminal and neg. to frame. Hook the neg. up LAST. If the S/G tests good then use your test light and a wiring diagram and work your way out from the battery. I'll bet you don't get much farther than the ign. switch though.

Certainly sounds like you lost contact somewhere. Check with a multimeter starting at the battery and work you way to the starter and see if you have lost contact somewhere.

OK, I tested the starter by connecting positive from battery to the starter terminal. I pulled the ignition switch and tested the "start" position and "ignition" position for continuity and they checked OK. The P.O. bypassed all the safety switches, so I guess that leaves the voltage regulator? Can these just die all of a sudden while running? How can I test the voltage regulator?

There are Wiring Diagrams in the Technical Library Section that you can use to methodically test and trace the issue down...... Wiring Diagrams

OK, My ignition switch has 3 prongs, "ign" "st" and "bat". I want to test voltage at the plug that attaches to the ignition switch, correct? Which of the 3 on the molex plug should I insert the red and black mulitmeter leads? Forgive me, I don't know much about electrical, but willing to learn. Thanks for all of your suggestions, Marty

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.
