Default 1811 switch

I picked up an 1811 yesterday (sorry no pics yet, I go to to work in the dark and come home in the dark so will get pics up in the next few days).

It doesnt want to activate using the key. Simply turning the ignition to on, and jumping the solenoid with a screw driver works. So either a solenoid or a switch I think....

But then a quick test of the PTO and nothing happening there either. Although I havent had a chance to review the wiring diagram in detail (found the 782 wiring diagram in the resources section, but not sure if the 1812 is wired the same) - Im wondering if the PTO could be related to the starter turning over? My gut says any safety switches cut the coil power so if it runs, then the coil is getting power.

Most likely two unrelated things. Next I will check the PTO fuse (a simple place to start), and then maybe make a jumper to see if it will kick in with a direct jumper.

Then will look for loose wires on the back of the switch. And check if its switching at the solenoid (if so then I happen to have an extra so that will be a quick swap).

On the PTO I see a reverse relay so wondering if something there is hanging up. I do notice the brake doesnt return on its own (might just need a spring). Wondering if one of the safety switches on the PTO isnt working. Seat (although that one would also cut out the engine?), Brake? (again that one doesnt allow it to start by cutting the coil?), Reverse?

Come to mention it, I dont know what the reverse relay does - may or may not have anything to do with driving in reverse? (I sometimes get in trouble by assuming too much!)

Any other PTO cutouts to check for?

Im sure there are some other dinky things to do, but thats the basics for now. We have a foot of snow coming tomorrow and this one has a 'super giant monster' snowblower (my kids term), so would be fun to get this operable this eve.....

Pics to come soon I promise, with a list of all the little things needing done. Its a two owner tractor with 900+ hours and runs pretty decent with just a hint of a miss now and then. Im attributing that to sitting most of the time and needing some gas run through it.

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.
