This is one fantastic reason that it's good to have more than one, especially when they're old. I have 8 Cubs with 4 ready to mow. This eliminates most concerns related to mowing and having a machine ready to jump on while buying me time to fix the one that won't work.
All 4 of my ready to mow Cubs cost less than one brand new one today so I feel pretty good about them.
Good luck and check those wires. I've even added a second ground wire just because of all the time I've heard people talk about the ground causing problems.

I have 2. The other has blown head gaskets. I pulled the motor on it to get started on fixing it up and this one went down a few days later. The plan was to have a spare at the ready but it hasn't worked out just yet.

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.
