Do yourself a favor, if it's "all messed up" get hold of our fellow member Mike Lamar (not sure on the spelling) he makes an excellent replacement harness. And very reasonably priced

I used 14ga when I made my wiring harnesses. Used 6ga for pos battery to solenoid, solenoid to S/G, neg battery to ground, S/G mount bolt to frame. 6ga might have been over-kill.

I bought Mike's harness for my 122, fit perfectly. My dad's 382 I just replaced corroded wires with 14awg and used 10awg for new BAT leads.

I too got one of those harness's and it was very well made. Each wire was not only correct length but was labeled so even a dummy like me could install it. Yes 6 ga for battery and ground is a little overkill but my son works at a gas cylinder and welding shop and the smallest wire he could get was 4 ga so we used it so I guess we were over over kill.

Another vote for Mike's wiring harness. It was extremely easy to install as everything is marked/labeled. Plus it's done with great craftsmanship.

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.
