Electrical Wizards: help with 1862 power issue
I am restoring my 1862 and have run into a power issue. I am in the process of replacing the starter solenoid. I replace the starter last weekend, and that was so much fun!
I tested voltage and have 12 V from the battery to the key switch then passing 12 V from the key switch when it is on through the clutch and PTO safety switches, bringing 12 V to the hot wire going into the solenoid. While I am waiting to replace the solenoid, I checked to see if I could jump the 12 V from the hot solenoid wire, which I have 12 V on now when the key is on, to the starter. When I make that connection I lose all voltage. I am not sure what is happening but it seems like there is a grounding issue somewhere. A separate but may be related issue is I have two green ground wire is that I cannot figure out where they go. One is a green wire connected to the “depressed foot pedal“ light on the dash. I think that one connected to the battery negative terminal. The second green wire has a circle connection on the end and is over by the solenoid. I think it connected to the solenoid or was ground into the chassis. That wire connects down to the clutch safety switch. Could those two grounds be causing an issue with the starter? Again, I am bypassing the solenoid and running the hot wire with 12 bolts from the PTO switch straight to the starter when I lose voltage when I make that connection.

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.
