I got a chance to work on the Cub this morning. I cut a piece of 1/4 rod, threaded it on both ends, put a self-locking nut on the bottom and a knob off of an old woodworking jig on top. I may try to find a round knob later and figure out a way to make it latch but this is good enough for now.
On to the electrical issues. I have only been able to crank it with the switch once sense I got it. All other times I have run a jumper wire from the battery to the blue wire terminal on the solenoid. Once cranked I cannot get the PTO switch to stay engaged. The seat and brake switches seem to be working, tractor will run with the brake on and me off the tractor but will die if I release the brake. It will run with the brake off and me in the seat and die if I raise up. Why are there two switches on the seat? What other safety switches would keep the tractor from starting and the PTO to kick off? I am glad to get that cover back on over the fan, that was a little scary. Cannon

I have not been able to solve the electrical issues yet. While cleaning the contacts on the switch I found the red/black wires not connected to anything and an empty connector on the switch, tried putting them into the empty connector but no change. I talked to the PO at church Sunday and he said sometimes he would have to turn the PTO on and off a few times before he could start the tractor with the switch. I tried that without success. I looked for a neutral safety switch but all I can see is nastiness. What is the forums opinion on spraying Cubs off at the car wash?

I thought I would post an update on the 1863. I mowed with it about 20 minutes this evening. Everything seams to be functioning well enough to use. The speed seems a good bit slower than my LT's, I think I am getting full travel on the linkage. Would changing the hydro filter make any difference? At this point I had intended to take the tractor apart and do some painting and rust control but the 100 degree heat has me whipped. I still need to find the grill, foot pad, seat cover and the screws to hold the belt guards on the deck but I feel good about getting it to this point.Thanks for all the help.

It's a 48". As you can see in the picture a lot of what I mow is around trees so it's a little harder to weave in and out than the 42" LT mowers. The deck is certainly heavy duty. I put it on some saw horses to remove the blades for sharpening and about busted a gut. I can carry my 42" MTD LT deck around with one hand.

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.
