Default 1450 Coil

I was mowing the lawn a week and a half ago and 90% done when the 1450 lost power then shut off. I cranked for a few minutes and checked some things, had no spark. The po told me he would replace a coil a yr, and since I haven't put one since I've owned it, I assumed it had gone bad. I borrowed the coil off the O, hooked it up and it started right up. So I did some searching on this site and saw posts about relocating a new bosch coil under the dash. I found good things on here about David Kirk, so I contacted him and ordered a coil and rubber hood edge piece. He couldn't have been nicer and I would recommend him to anyone that needs parts. Last night I finally had time to put it all together. While it was apart I pulled the muffler off to repair cracks around the input pipe, I bent the front screen to keep it from rattling and i put the hood edge strip on. After I got finished, it fired right up and I couldn't believe how quiet it was. No more rattling!!
This site is a fantastic resource!

Good deal. I relocated my Ignition Coil also, to the dash area on my 1450. I figured it would last longer once removed from the heat and vibration of the engine. Next coil I am going to use, is going to be the Bosch. From what I have heard, they give a hotter and better spark.

No doubt, I can't wait to give it an extended "shake down" test (intended) tomorrow when cutting the grass.

I'd don't know the coil number off hand, but I got it from www.Kirkengines.com It is the only bosch coil they have. It was $60 dollars which from what I understand is in the ballpark of what kohler will get you for, and as cheap as any place I saw sell the bosch.
I ran a new wire from the points to the coil and crimped a ring terminal on either end. The power wire I spliced to the original and soldered together. The condensor is relocated next to the coil. Its on the backside which you can't see in the photo because that is the neg side of the coil.

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.
