Default 782 Hyrdo Quit Running
Hello, I was cruising along on my first mowing of the year when the engine just stopped as if I had shut off the key. I tried restarting for a couple minutes with no luck. Then the starter stopped working. When I turn on the key, there is nothing. No lights, the hour meter doesn't run and the amp meter doesn't move. The battery is fully charged, and if I jump the solenoid the starter turns over the engine, but there is no spark at the plugs. I am hoping I've missed something obvious (it has fuel). If you have any ideas, I am open to suggestions.

Thank you!

Default Are there more than 2 fuses
Thank you so much for replying. I've checked the two fuses in the attached picture for continuity. They both seem to be all right. Are there any other fuses or relays I should be checking?

I'm having the same on going issues with my 782. It's in the connector at the ignition switch - there is a loose connection or short in there somewhere with the black wire on the right side of the harness connector. Be careful, because there are wires in there that are hot all the time - make sure you use insulated pliers if you are poking around in there. Remember, heat = resistance, so the problem may get worse when the tractor is hot. Keep probing and you'll find the weak spot!

Default Success!
First, thank you all for your suggestions. I was ready to start taking things apart and tracing wires. I cannot say exactly which issue was the problem, either the key switch has a intermittent short, or one of the fuses was not making good contact in its holder. I shot some contact cleaner and scrubbed in the fuse holders with a small wire brush (from a gun cleaning kit). I also hit the back of the key switch with the contact cleaner as well. Everything is working well now. Thank you all again!

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.
