Default Cub Cadet 2166 PTO
Good day everyone, I have used the forum in the past finding fixes for my 2166, but I have run into an issue that I have not found an answer for yet. I blew a main fuse this afternoon. I chased the issue down to the PTO clutch. In doing some troubleshooting I found that across the coils on the PTO I am pulling 5 ohms of resistance not the 3.5 or so I should have. I am thinking that the clutch is bad, not a happy thought given the price. Is there any hope for it, can it be rebuilt or do I need to pony up the $300 for a new one.

5 ohms is fine, and would result in less current draw than 3.5 ohms, so that isn't the problem. You likely have a shorted wire somewhere in the PTO circuit.

I suspect that you may be correct, but since I have not purchased a manual for this tractor yet, I have always seemed to be able to fix it without one, I do not have a wiring diagram for it. I guess I am going to have to order a manual for it and see if I can trace out what is going on.

I hate electrical issues, I would rather tear down my Kubota rear end again than chase shorts.

Well I just discovered something that may be interesting. I have constant voltage supplied to the PTO, it does not matter what position the switch is in on or off, voltage stays at 12.55 volts. Anyone know if this is normal? I confess that electrical issues confound me but I would have thought that I should only have voltage with the PTO switch engaged. All that load of starting and the PTO trying to engage at the same time may be blowing the fuse. Maybe I have a bad switch?

Default Volts
The pto most likely should have 12 volts to both wires of the pto. When you pull the switch on it grounds one of the wires on the pto then it turns on.

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.
