Default 1572 starting in forward or reverse
Should a 1572 start in forward or reverse. It appears that the safety switch underneath the dash has an arm missing. Currently I have the seat fenders and drive shaft cover off the tractor. After replacing the drive components, I went to start it and it will start with the drive lever in any position.

The switch on the dash does nothing more than kill the pto when you go in reverse. If your tractor is starting with out the speed selector beng in neutral, then the brake petal switch is either bad or has been wired around.

I found the two red wires that were supposed to be connected to the switch, they were cut and twisted together. No sign of a switch anywhere near the brake pedal assembly.

Would anyone have a picture of where the switch is attached?

Looking on the Messick site it appears to be located on this bracket.

may want to check the cub cadet site under parts--enter 1572 model number
look under brakes--part 7 is the bracket that pushes in safety switch found under electrical--part 27 and 28.
I believe the original bracket that pushes in the switch has been updated to a better system. I have a 1772 and the bracket broke on mine which prevents the safety switch from being pushed in when parking brake is set.
sounds like someone wired around your switch.

My arm/bracked piece just broke on mine so I've got the two wires spliced together. I hate that because it's dangerous. I've got to order a new one this week sometime.

I found that out the hard way. I have a nice scuff on the back of my leg, because I didn't make sure it was in neutral before I started it. I have a couple teenagers that are going to operate it so it needs to have all the safety devices in place.

Default brake safety switch
My lever/plate just broke also and I was wondering what the improved model you were talking about is. I tried to weld mine but it is too thin for my machine. Is there a good source for a new one?

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.
