Default 1862 Ignition/wiring issue
I have been working on an 1862, the ignition switch was bad so I ordered one by the number on the old switch. It has a plug with 5 wires and a single post to the side for the green ground wire.

hooked up when you activate the key it keeps blowing the fuse. Disconnect the green wire and it doesnt blow the fuse.

Motor turns over but cant get it to start. I know it runs cause we had been cranking it with jumper cables.

Can someone please help me and guide me with this issue. Im thinking it has something to do with the safety switches.

Thanks

So, you have a new 925-3163 and you are blowing the fuse.

(A) Do you have a VOM or DVM meter ??
(B) Do you know how to check for "resistance" (Ohms) ??

Sounds like something is shorting to ground when you release the brake.

How about when the ground is connected to the switch it pops the fuse when key is turn on. I'm assuming it's all a ground related issue?

One of three things.
* Bad Seat Switch
* Bad Reverse Switch
* Bad Reverse Relay
This is assuming the wiring is intact, and in good condition.

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.
