GT 2186 headlight mystery
Hi folks - update on my last post https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/...ad.php?t=59094), I've run the heck out of the machine since I last posted, and the loud running and knocking hasn't ever returned. Hasn't burned a drop of oil (golden clear) or tranny fluid. Told my mower guy about it and he's scratching his head too.
Meanwhile, I was mowing into the evening last week, with the headlights on for about 45 minutes, when the headlights blinked off & on about three times and then went out. Nothing else out of the ordinary. Got around to looking into it today, and now I'm puzzled. Bulbs are fine, both fuses are fine, all connections are clean and secure, no frayed/exposed wires to be found (so far, but from the headlights to the main harness all is well), all other electrical components working just fine. EDITED to add - headlights still do not work, it wasn't just that night. Thoughts? |

Time to get the DVM and a Wiring Schematic out, and start tracing down the issue.

That has the headlight switch by turning the key back a notch right?
I'd start there with a volt meter.

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.
