Default asking for wiring help
I realize this is an old thread but I like the solenoid relay set up. I would like to do a similar set up for my Cub Cadet 2166 to add a switch and relay to the electric pto clutch but am not overly talented at wiring and am asking for help and/or diagram to wire the relay up. Thanks in advance, RP.

I don't like to see mechanical relay mounted on a engine where the vibration is a lot more than on a chassis.
But that just my .02

I finally came across your post I could have used it a few years back I've been limping this 2284 along with the solenoid pushing forward but no turn of the Armature. After various troubleshooting I think I'm going to try your solution but there were no pictures have they been removed can you repost them by chance or send them to me?

Back in the day, Henry Ford said don't design something to make my cars more complicated, design something to make them less complicated.
Why put a band-aid on a wound when you can heal the wound and eliminate the band-aid?
Repair the problem or problems, and get on with keeping it simple.

Yep it sounds simple to just fix the original problem but it's a recurring issue with the cyclops series and Cub even came out with a relay upgrade. This is a simple cheap cure.

You can take your Cub to a $100/hour guy at a shop and maybe spend a few hundred or you can spend $10 and fix it yourself.

I'm a cheap skate and not all that great on electrical stuff and that's why I have three Commands hot wired and another one for my neighbor!

I have the same issue on my 2284. Based on the explanation of the cause what would the direct solution be, finding the cause of the voltage drop?

I could use the pictures also, I like the solution!

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.
