When I manage to find a good ground for my test light, I test for power from the battery to the solenoid switch and get power. I don't seem to get power from the solenoid switch to the starter......................
First clue is that most 1450's have two studs located on the dash tower which to mount the solenoid switch...... I went to remove the solenoid switch and the top nut was loose,.......................... Next, I went to remove the lower nut and found there was no lower nut securing the solenoid switch ? The questions I have are: 1. Did I loose ground to my solenoid switch causing the switch to short out? 2. Would this improper ground not allow a proper connection to keep my battery charged? I did not find another nut, but I have one. I did try to tighten the top nut, and gave the key a bump and nothing......... Mean while, I have a new Ford solenoid switch, and another solenoid switch from a parts tractor that may also be worth a chance being good. Going to disconnect the positive cable from the battery and continue to remove the switch, and then get the battery charger on the battery......

That sounds like it might be your problem. If you have power to the signal terminal and the main power cable, and nothing out when you turn the key, the solenoid is not switching. I'd jump ground to the "case", or the mounting plate from the - batt terminal and see if it cranks.

First of all, I wish to thank the group here at Only Cub Cadets! I really appreciate the many replies and suggestions, I read through them all carefully and found all seemingly accurate to the best of my knowledge. Just for looking into the situation and probable causes before I picked up the wrench..........
The 1450 is ALIVE! Runs and drives fine. The new Ford starter solenoid I had in stock worked just fine in a pinch, it was one for my 1988 Ford Crown Vic 5.0 . Glad my problem turned out to be something as simple as it was, though the lesson was at the expense of a new starter solenoid. Just happy we're going on......I sort of was having serious with-drawls from the yellow fever, lol! So, Quiet Line owners....might not hurt to check your starter solenoid switch and make sure it is tight against the ground, along with your 8 engine fasteners now and again! Happy Father's Day, cheers!

I change all the electric harness , ignition switch , PTO switch and fuse holder on my QL1650, I add a Bosh blue ignition coil, a high performance ignition wire and a "point saver", all from Kirk engine Inc. , the only part I didn't mess with was the solenoid, regulator and magneto, they all test good but after 38 years of services and counting it's maybe the weak point to keep a eye on. Wish your 1450 purr like a kitten for many more years Good "Dada" day

My parts tractor 5 pin connector is wired this way. But all the wires used are red. I have many color of wire which I can rewire the 5 pin connector. I was rather unaware of this!

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.
