i have a new correct coil, condenser, new points (that are now burnt) and a brand new wire from the coil to the points. fact being, ALL the wiring is new and quadruple times checked for accuracy as per the wiring diagram in the tech section on here. jeff

Sounds like the next step, unless the coil was labeled wrong or bad from the factory.

Ok, my Dad and I have figured it out. Everything I was telling ya'll was correct, BUT the coil that was originally on it had a ceramic resistor zip tied on the side, but there were no wires going to or from it. Having a cousin who has a sales and repair shop for mowers (he is WAY high on his parts) looked at the coil and told me that it was a NON-resistor type coil and that it had to have been wired through the external resistor to run and since I didn't wire it through there again, that is why it was burning points and wires. So he gave (yes actually gave) me a coil that had an internal resistor. I installed it, gaped the NEW points, a little gas and guess what????? it FIRED up in about one revolution and purrs like a kitten, absolutely NO SMOKE. Clutch pedal is a little sticky due to crud and what have ya on it. So I thought, while it was running, lets see how well it will pull the turning plow, I hitched her up, went out to the garden, dropped her down and she did extremely well for a neglected, rusty ol' gal!!!! Now, my next little problem is trying to find the next plow day in my area!!!! I want to personally thank each and everyone of you who patiently help me out with what little info I gave!!!!! again, THE greatest bunch of guys a forum could ever have!!! If cubs wasn't a great GT, you guys could make them!!!!!! Below are pictures of the external resistor. thanks again, jeff

glad you got it figured out Jeff, sounded like you were losing hope there for a bit. Also that is cool it does not smoke, you probably just ironed out the reason someone else had given up on it.

Good you got it figured out, BUT, the stock coil has an internal resistor. So, the "correct coil" that you got from somewhere was not correct. Maybe take it and get your $$$ back? If you got it from a dealer, they should have known better.

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.
