Default 1641 PTO switch ?
I was just about finished mowing today with my 1641 and the pto shut off. I flipped the switch up and the pto started back up but when I let go of the switch and it returned to the center position the pto shut off again. This happened a few times and I had to hold the switch up to finish cut the little bit of grass I had left.

So I am thinking that the switch went bad. Just wondering if there is anything else I should check before I order a new switch? Any suggestions?

As a suggestion, I would check the (A) Seat Switch (w/ BLK & PUR Wires) and then (B) the Reverse Relay before I would jump to the assumption that the PTO switch is bad.

Here is a typical PTO circuit for your tractor

Roland,

There was not a seat switch on this tractor when I got it. Also the pto will stay on in reverse. Maybe they are both jumpered? Where exactly is the reverse relay?

Reverse relay is on the left side of the battery near the solenoid.

I can't say for sure, cause I don't own that new of a model. BUT.....if CCC was true to form, I would look on the LH side of the pedestal.

Thank you for the help. I was able to get this sorted out this morning.

I did not realize that there was 2 seat switches under the spring plate under the seat. Once I found them I saw one of them was not in the correct position and the PO had shoved some pieces of thick rubber up there to keep,the switch pressed down.

I removed the switches and found that the one had the tabs busted busted off that hold it in place. I relocated the switches on top of the seat pan where they were easier to get at. For now I wire tied a small piece of plastic to the top of the switches to keep them pressed down. If I run into this trouble again I may just cut the switches off and jump the wires together and eliminate them permenently.

Again, thanks for the tips. You guys saved me about 45 bucks for a new pto switch.

LALALALALALA we can't hear you. At least that's what Roland will tell the OCC legal team.

Glad you were able to troubleshoot it instead of throwing parts and money at it.

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.
