Just FYI, not all Vanguards have the fuel shut off solenoid. You can simply remove it and replace it with the factory plug or do as I do on all my Vanguards, remove the solenoid, cut the plunger off and then re-install it. If it's not on the engine it can't cause problems.

Yes I ordered the diode, and the place sat on it for 3 days, so I called them and they said that it's discontinued and I could not get it. Not sure when they're going to tell me that.

That's why it's hard to beat Amazon.

I think the 1.5 amp will work or if you want bigger these are a 5 amp.

If anyone is curious,
I did some bench testing on a briggs carb solenoid.
At 12.5 volts it draws 350 milli-amps (a little over 1/3 amp)

So of course I ended up finding one on Amazon LOL. I ran out to the garage, clip the ends off the old diode, j-hooked the diode and remaining ends so I had a good bond with the solder and retention. Threw some sleeving over it, went out to hook it up and of course the fuse immediately blew.
Then I put a larger amp fuse in it this time, 30 amp and the tractor actually ran for about a minute until it blew.

How do I get the solenoid out of the carburetor?

I must still have a short somewhere, this is getting ridiculous LOL. Could the solenoid itself be grounding out?

Today is not the day to be working on this, since it is outside and of course it's raining today.

So since that diode goes directly to the starter, I'm assuming that once the tractor starts if it was just a wire without a diode it would actually ground out correct? Because I noticed that when I check polarity on the main coming off the solenoid to the starter it shows negative and then changes the positive once the solenoid is activated.

Can't tell from your pictures but the lead on the end of the diode with the silver band around it should go towards the carb.
If that is not the case, the fuse will blow.

Solenoid is on the rear bottom right side of the carb. You should be able to get to it from the top by removing the air cleaner assembly including the base plate. Close the choke to prevent dropping a screw down the carb.

Silver end is opposite the starter

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.
