Cub Cadet 782D starting issues
Hello all. I read a couple of the posts about upgrading starters but I did have a quick question. My uncle has a 782d with a snowblower attachment. The key switch stopped working last year and he has been starting it with a screwdriver. He is up in age and is pretty good at coming up with interesting solutions to problems, but his wits aren't what they used to be.
I am mechanically inclined to a point but am no means an expert in this sort of thing. I saw the way he was starting it with a screwdriver and figured there has to be a better way. We replaced the key switch which did absolutely nothing to fix the problem I figured it might be possible to rig an additional 60 amp starter switch with one wire to the battery with a 30 amp fuse in the line, and the other wire on the solenoid. It works pretty slick but the fuse blows pretty easily. I tried without the fuse and it burnt up the first switch we put in. Anyone have any ideas on what we should try? It works ok right now, but we need to start at square one and figure out the root cause of the original problem. Also, is there any risk in the current jury rigged set up we have? He seems to think it will be ok, but I would like to try and get this done right. Thanks for any help you can provide.

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.
