Mower PTO kicks out/off
50" deck on a 1872 Cub. I thought I'd outsmart the PTO switch and hold it engaged to finish mowing the back yard. It engages fine initially but doesn't stay engaged for long - like less than a minute. So I did have to admit that repairs will be necessary. Because the PTO engages with a flip of the switch, I'm assuming the clutch is okay. Next I think any of the safety switches can cause this condition, right? I will check the seat switch first because it does trip out when I hit a bump in my lawn or going downhill. The rubber sw. button protector has been torn for sometime - I only put it back in place but maybe it's time to replace it. I'm thinking out loud here but invite any input you wish to add. TIA Steve

1811woody, I tried to respond earlier but kept getting an error message. Turns out my problem was related to the seat switch but with a twist. I thought I had the Super with torn rubber on the seat sw. but instead it is the 1872 without a seat switch. Previous owner removed the sw. and twisted the wires together in its absence - no tape, no crimped ferrel, just bare wires. They were twisted tight providing good contact it seemed. Now what? While I was thinking about what safety to check next when it occurred to me that maybe these bare twisted wires might be shorting out on the back side of the fender panel. Taped up the wires and gave it a try. I was happy and smailing again!!! Finished mowing the back yard and swept up grass. Thanks woody for you input.

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.
