Default 105 wiring
I took the dash off from my 105, as it was smashed. I have put it back together, and it wont start now. I didnt hook up any of the wires that run the lights, I hooked the wires up from the ignition , the selenoid,and the amp meter,and the safty switch, I have nothing ? do the light have to be wired to complete it? if I unhook the saftey switch underneath will that just bypass it ? Thanks

The neutral safety switch plug would need to be "jumpered" to allow current to flow.

Have you looked here? http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/showthread.php?t=35

I have been following the electrical system section for the 105 from the service manual, everything seems to be correct ? what I have done is take the dash and pedestal off and painted them, and am reinstalling , I was thinking that the selanoid grounds through the studs, and I panted them , so it isnt able to ground ???? but I ran a jumper to ground the selanoid(maybe not enough), it has to be a ground prbolem ! it acts dead, does absolutly nothing not even a click ! it did run before, that why It has me stumped, as I didnt change anything , just added paint, and I have not hooked any of the wires for the lights either ! but, I have power at the green wire on ignition switch ? so to bypass the safty switch do i need to wire nut the 2 together ? thank, this will be my last resort as it worked before!,Thanks.

You should scrape paint off to get metal on metal contact. The bolt alone won't do it.

Most tractors that have the N/S switch bypassed just have a heavy "U" shaped piece of wire stuck into the plastic receptacle that would normally plug onto the switch, that way nothing is damaged or ruined (just in case you or the next owner wanted to put the switch back in service).

The headlights should have nothing to do with starting and running the machine.

bigdaddyjak,

I'm sorry, yes, the solenoid must be grounded. If your dash tower has fresh paint you may need to clean a little of it off from the mounting studs.

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.
