Default 2182 ignition issues
Hello all. I have been an owner of a CC 2182 for 15 years now and love it. It is starting to show its age and having some nickel and dime stuff going on. The main issue I am having now is the ignition switch broke. I picked up a 6 prong ignition switch from Tractor supply and it seems the wiring for that switch is different than the OEM switch. I am hoping for some information that would help me out with this.

I have the 6 prong switch but have no wire diagram. If anyone could email me one I would greatly appreciate it.

coltzfan@gmail.com

I did get the tractor started in the middle of the yard as I taped the two AC wires together, and then touched the battery wire and hot wired it. Worked like a champ in a pinch but now I would like to do it correctly. I was playing around with the wires once I got it back to the house and I did get it to start, but once I put the key back to the run position it died. So any schematics of the electrical would be great.

Thanks.

The switch you have will not work with the Kubota engine.
The switch you have grounds the ignition wire in the off position and is open or neutral in the run position.
The switch you need should be neutral or open in the off option and closed to the hot wire in the run position.
The ignition on the Kubota needs voltage to run as most small engines produce their own voltage when they are running.
Don't wreck things get the right switch from Cub and do it right.

I agree. You will need 725-3163 Ignition Switch. It is available from your local Cub Cadet dealer or the sponsors at the top of the page can send you one.

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.
