Well good news. I finally got the 1211 with the k301 started! I checked the ignition switch over again found the black wire was loose, so I soldiered it and reinstalled it. I think I have a battery going bad, so I jumped it with my pickup and got it started! I drove it around a bit, my first hydro, man that thing will get up and move! It ran awhile then died like it ran out of gas. I didn't have time to work on it anymore so rolled it back inside. When I jumped it, I feed the jumper cables under the front of the seat, does the seat need to be down to start it or can it be up when you jump it? Thanks to Roland a J-Mech for helping me with this, I knew it was something simple like a bad wire!

I would suggest, that you replace the Ignition Switch. Externally, you soldered the loose tab, but when it got loose in the first place, chances are real good, that internally the switch experienced high heat and has a "high resistance" contact connection. You will need Cub Cadet 725-3021 or Indak R464A

I had already replaced the switch with a new one before I started The wire came loose from the blade connector. It had came loose for the PO and shorted the original switch out and J-mech said I would need one for a 1282 since I was making my 1211 into a 1282. So that's what I bought part#725-3021. I didn't soldier the blade connector the first time and guess it worked loose,soldered it yesterday and got it fired up. Think I fig out why it died yesterday the coil had moved and grounded the -neg post to the rectifier. Will go to the shop and move it and re-tighten it and see what happens. Thanks Roland!

OK.....it wasn't clear you were talking about the Wire End Terminal as opposed to the Switch Terminal.

Well you both were help on this,I wouldn't have thought to have changed the ign switch and I had the wires reversed to the engine before Roland corrected me. Like I said in the other thread will use it as my plow tractor this winter then start the paint job next spring.

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.
