I edited your post. Please do not post how you bypass safety switches.

I am glad that you got it fixed.

Default Don't Bragg to Soon
Tried to start the 1864 this morning and just got a click from the selonoid, after a few tries it starts. How should I decide if I need a new one or just the relay I see you posting about?

Aha, now you have exactly the same problem I have on the 2084!

Well, I've lived with the problem for 2 years now. I can't say it particularly bothers me, but I should fix it. From what I've read here I would expect that a relay would solve the problem. It's a cheap and easy fix so I'd suggest you give it a try.

Thumbs up The Relay
Dave it just bugs me so much I have to try the relay, I will always wounder when the time may come when it wont start and where I might be when that happens. I read that you shouldn't push the tractor very far if the motor isn't running. How far is to far do you think?. I will do some reading on the relay and give it a try, let you know what happens.

Cool 1864 Cub Cadet
Since I bought the tractor used, I want to change all fluids, I can only find a synthetic Cub oil is it ok to use regular Hy-Tran oil?

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.
