Default Help

Guys,I installed a new wiring harness on my 127 and it will not crank / turnover / make a noise or anything. Someone has put a oil gauge on it that is not hooked up. I can only guess that it used to be a charge indicator /DC meter .All terminals are in the correct place except for the two wires that go to the charge indicator.Short of buying a the charge indicator anyone have any helpful hints? I want to get it started again. I replaced the harness because the one that was on it was corroded and kept breaking. Pardon the ignorance, and HELP. I do have the wiring diagram, and have verified that all is correct except for the wires that go to the charge indicator. I know there is no junction block that I can find.

I would go over everything again with a fine tooth comb. Check to make sure all connections are tight. Especially both ends of the battery cables. If everything is tight check all wires with a ohm meter to insure all the terminals are making good contact. Good luck. I am sure it is something you over looked.

I think you need the amp meter in the circuit in order for it to do anything. My guess is that you could temporarily connect the two wires that if I understand your post are not connected at the moment. I think I would do it with a fuse just in case something is wrong. Just want to caution you that I am not the go to guy on this issue. I'd shoot a PM to Dr. Bedell

Sam is correct. It DOES have to have the ammeter in the circuit for it to work. Putting a fuse in it is not necessary, but a good safety measure.

Put those two wires together and fire it up.

Roland I'm attaching a photo of the wires. They are together. The wiring diagram says these can be hooked to a junction block. It appears these wires are connected to positive or am I reading wrong? Don't want to fry anything. Thanks guys for the help

I didn't finish my post, yes you can hook them together. But, I see that we all already agree to that. Sorry I didn't reread what I typed.....

The power will (A) either go through the Amp Gauge, or (B) go through the Junction Block.

Either way, the power has to go through.

Try to run a wire from + on the battery to the SMAL post of the starter solinoid and it should crank over. That will tell you if it is good. If it does you can start looking at the key switch itself.

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.
