ol'George
I did replace the ignition switch and it was a genuine Cub Cadet switch. That's a good point, both about a possible incorrect switch and about the ignition system not being grounded when it needs to be. Honestly, there was enough oil/dirt/grass mixture caked on everything that it could very likely have be a ground issue. I'll see if it's fixed a little later today. johnwd98 I agree, I want to know I have the real problem fixed first. I'm one of those people, probably a case of ocd, that just can't stand to let something like this go. I let it go part of the summer, so my dad could use it to mow with and now it needs fixed. I do have a small ball valve in the fuel line of my older tractors, to prevent a leaky needle and seat from filling the crankcase with fuel. I think it's a good idea, especially when most of mine sit for several weeks or even a year in between uses.

I let it go part of the summer, so my dad could use it to mow with and now it needs fixed. I just thought of something else, If the only way to shut down the engine is to install a cut off switch on the solenoid, then what do you if you want get off your Cub and walk away for 10 minutes or more? Do you shut off the fuel and wait for it to empty the float bowl then shut the key off, meaning a longer cranking period next time, or do you just shut off the key and wait, either way you would be waiting. Does your Cub have the "safety" kill button on the seat? There could be more complications would arise with fuel solenoid cut-off switch if not fixed correctly first. I believe the cut-off switch to be not be a bad idea but, only if your done for the day.

John when properly wired the engine is shut off by grounding the mags. The white wire is the kill wire. Your ignition switch should ground the white wire when you turn it off. The fuel solenoid requires power in order to open and allow fuel flow. The white wire on the engine goes to the yellow wire on the ignition switch so if you ground the yellow wire it should shut off.

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.
