Default Solenoid?????
Hi folks. Have a question concerning an electrical 'no start' situation. Tried to start my 1882 today - wouldn't turn over even when jumping. However, when I used a screwdriver across the solenoid posts it fired, started, and ran.
My question(s)___should I replace the solenoid? Or would you suggest looking elsewhere?

I am NOT mechanically inclined (as you can probably tell by this post).

ThanksMuch,
Chris

Chances are it's your safety/neutral switch at your brake pedal.

Would my jumping it, as I did with the screwdriver, over-ride the safety neutral switch? While I'm thinking of it....seems there were no dash lights either.

Thanks,
Chris

CMJ:

Here is a simplified Start Circuit (properly color coded) for the 1882.

You can use a DVM to trace down the problem or take a jumper wire and jump out each device and connection until the solenoid energizes.

If the solenoid has 12vDC going to it, and it is properly grounded, and it doesn't energize, then the solenoid is bad.

Thanks for the help folks. After reading the replies I deduced, rightly or wrongly, it just might be the ignition switch. I went this route because I couldn't even begin to figure out which terminals throughout the schematics to test, or even jump. And the fact I had no lights - dash or head. So, anyway, I took the ignition switch out....some of the terminals were less than clean.....I cleaned them......put it back....THE TRACTOR NOW STARTS JUST FINE!!!!!

Now off to find a socket for the blade nuts.

Thanks Again for the help.

I had this happen once. Turned out it was a bad fuse. Discovered it after I put in the brand new ingition switch.

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.
