2166 Blowing fuses
Hi all, I'm trying to sort out an issue I've been having on my 2166. One day I found that the tractor would not start, I checked a few things and found that the fuse on the left side of the tractor was blown. OK, no big deal. I was messing around with a couple things and I think one of the battery leads may have touched the wrong terminal, so I figured that's probably what did it. Popped in a new fuse and I was off and mowing. Next time I went to mow, same thing. Popped in a new fuse and mowed the lawn again. Now, the fuse blows as soon as you turn the ignition on.
I don't think it's related, but after the last mowing job I was re-doing the relay mod since the cheap relay I bought was all corroded and I was having to use a remote start button to send 12v to the starter solenoid in order to mow. I suspected that cheap relay as being part of my starting problems, and assumed the blown fuse(s) are unrelated. I thought I might have mis-wired the new relay so I removed the relay entirely. I unplugged the engine connector (the one that's bolted to the plastic shroud) and wire to the solenoid just to try and narrow down the issue...even with all that disconnected...immediately blows the fuse when the key is turned on. I did some disassembly to see if I could find anything obvious that was worn, corroded, shorting out, etc. I found nothing too awfully suspect. I am fairly certain that the fuse in question is the one going to the ignition switch's B terminal, then on to the starter solenoid according to the schematic. Correct me if that's not the one on the left side. If I'm wrong there, I'm chasing in the wrong direction. Sadly, I don't recall the color of the wires behind the fuse...that would have been a good confirmation. I can read the schematic, but I'm probably not aware of all the things and parts that could potentially cause this symptom. Anyone come across anything like this or maybe have suggestions of things to check?

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.
