Ever wanted to set your Cub on fire?
Better yet, put a stick of dynamite under it and watch it blow into thousands of pieces? Yeah, that's where Im at tonight with the 1864. Im so sick of working on a tractor every time I need to mow.
Okay, so as I mentioned in another thread, when I pulled the engine to clean it up, I replaced the head gaskets while it was out. Put the engine back in and went out and mowed with it for 20 minutes or so to put a heat cycle on the engine. It ran great! Better than ever. Fast forward to tonight and I pulled the tins and valve covers to re-torque the heads. Put it back together an now it wont start. When I turn the key, I hear the fuel shut off solenoid clicking and that's it. Nothing else. Nothing with the starter. I didn't touch anything electrical so nothing has changed since it last ran. I don't even know where to begin as electrical is most definitely a weakness for me. I do know all the safety features have been bypassed because the tractor will run or start regardless of the PTO, brake, seat, etc. Other than the seat, I don't even know where to begin checking these bypasses because I don't know where they are. Help please!!

When I pulled the tins on my 1641, the first time, I couldn't get it to do anything. I found a loose wire that wasn't in it's connection on the starter side on one of the metal below the head. Plugged it in, and was fine from there. Another time, it was the little solenoid by the battery. Tapped on it, and it started. That one took a little cleaning, and has been fine since.

Get a copy of the wiring diagram, a test light and a meter and start digging.

Yes it can get frustrating and I totally understand. I've had cars act the same way, they seem to fail only when I needed them and out came the tools again. It can be something simple but that doesn't help when you've already had a terrible day for a host of reasons and then you flop down on your Cub and nothing!
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.

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.
