Default Rear PTO wiring question
hello, i just got a rear PTO, tiller and brush hog all in one swoop.


ive been reading up on the rear PTO wiring and im kind of confused as to how this works. i looked under the hood of my 2072, and i found a pig tail that has a jumper wire in it. does that jumper wire come out, and the pig tail go into a switch? i do remember when i had the fenders off finding a pig tail wire by the light wires that i know goes to the PTO itself on the transmission.

can anyone help me figure this out? im kind of confused on what kind of switch to use. some say use a PTO switch like the one for the front but some say directional switch not a PTO switch. kinda confusing!

thank you in advanced.

Well, I can certainly help you out. This, in my world, is not a big deal.

I will go and look at the Wiring Diagram to see if the Factory provided for a Rear PTO wiring or if it has to be custom fabricated.

The jumper wire comes out and is replaced with a short harness that connects to a switch that is installed in an existing hole on the metal part of the instrument panel support near the headlight switch or ignition switch, depending on the model. In one position of the switch, the front PTO is activated (I think the switch is up) and in the other position (down) the rear PTO will be activated. this switch does not activate the PTO, but merely switched which PTO is turned on when the main PTO on-off switch on the dash is turned on.

Look at the LH image in the diagram I posted for the Cub Cadet Part #.

You can also pick up a SPDT Switch - 10A rated or more, from a local source.

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.
