Default 1872 Shutdown Issues

Have an 1872 that when I turn the switch to "off", nothing happens. The way I thus "kill" it, is to choke it, till it stops. Is this a switch issue or a broken wire? What I do have is a maintenance manual, but the wiring diagram does not make sense, when I compare to the actual wiring on the tractor. The wiring diagram references a "magneto", but when I look at any parts supplier, there is no reference to a magneto. Is this term interchangeable with " ignition module" ? I am the original purchaser of this machine, so there has been to modifications of any electrical component. Thanks for all replies !

Could be either or.........or both.

YES. Magneto and Ignition Module are the same reference.

When you turn the Ignition Switch to off, the housing of the Ignition Switch is ground and thus the contact between M & Ground is made, killing the Magneto. So, the yellow wire could be "open" or the Ignition Switch does not make contact from M to Ground in the off position.

One other thing, this is assuming, that there is a ground connection between the Battery Negative Terminal and the Ignition Switch Housing.

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.
