Wiring nightmare on cub 682
 

Hi I have a cub 682 and I was wondering if there is a way to rewire it a simple way. I would like to just run new wiring to what is needed to make it start and mow. Can I bypass the relays and safety switches?

First, welcome to OCC.... :Welcome2:

Next, the 682 had two different Wiring Configurations depending on the Serial Number range. So, to properly assist you, we need the Chassis Serial Number.

Lastly, it is your tractor, time, and effort, but we do NOT advise or suggest for owners to disable or by pass safety devices. I am sure you can imagine why.

Waiting to hear about your S/N.

Wiring a coil on cub 682
 

Hi I was wondering if it's safe to wire a coil on its own hot line and using a switch. I can get the tractor to run when I run a jumper. I can't figure out what is cutting power to my coil while cranking the engine. So my idea is to run a hot wire off the solenoid to a on/ off switch then to the coil. Is this safe?

It's stupid.

Fix the circuit. It's likely in the ignition switch, or a safety switch.... could even be the PTO switch.

If you would answer the question in this thread, Roland will get you the diagram.

You go off and wire it up all redneck then you'll be back here complaining something else doesn't work...:bash2:

It's your tractor, do as you see fit. :beerchug:

You are never going to get anyone to tell you that it is safe to bypass safety switches. No it is s not safe, to answer your question.

If you give Roland your serial number he can get you the proper wiring diagram and you can fix it and fix it right the first time. Do not try and rig up something that may or may not work. It might work for a while and then break, making it harder to fix.

Its quite common for the ignition switch to cause issues like you describe, the internal contacts get corroded from being parked outside for 30 years. I often pull the switch out, fill it with WD40, rotate it through all its positions several times and then blow it out with an airhose before reinstalling it. Fixed dozens of them like that.

The factory wiring really is the simplest way to go, anything else you may do can and often will create further problems in the future, people have burned up entire tractors... you dont want to be that guy;)
