I could use the pictures also, I like the solution!
That is a possibility but my 1864 shipped from the factory with this mod.

Someone recently posted a ebay venor selling a 5-pack of relays, complete with a plug and harness, all for $10. I bought the pack and this week finally installed it on my 2084. Instant satisfaction. Now I don't have to keep my engine running all day. 1864 is next.

This is fantastic, and almost certainly what’s been ailing me..

Question though. I don’t seem able to see the pictures that are mentioned.

The references to connectors 86, 87, and 30 aren’t clear to me.

“Remove the blue wire from your solenoid and connect it to the 86 connector on the relay. 2 down, 2 to go.

Run a wire (I used green) from 87 to the connector on the solenoid you just removed. 1 more to go.

Now run a FUSED wire from 30 to a constant 12v. I used the included 15 amp fuse.“

Any insight is enormously appreciated!

-Paul

Paul reference post #14 in the thread. And substitute the word 'terminal' for 'connector', and it should make more sense.
86, 87, 30, etc are terminal locations on the relay. When you have a relay in your hand it should make more sense.

In case you weren't aware and are going to purchase a relay,
they are available with a built in fuse holder.

Just wanted to mention that we sell a plug and play kit for this problem, both for the Kohler Command and for the Kubota Gas/Diesel engines. For those of you who don't enjoy wiring:

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.
