Default 2072 electric problem
Bought a 2072 last year - just about done with lots of small repairs. Did some wiring repairs as well. Started it up last night ran ok, shut down and now it wont start and blows the fuse from the selonoid to the ign. switch every time I turn the key

Any ideas ? - thanks

I'm not sure you have that wired right. The two fuses should be in the lights circuit and the PTO clutch circuit. None of my tractors have one between the ignition switch and the solenoid.

Default diagram
Looking at the wiring diagram the line goes from solenoid to fuse then to charge indicator then to key switch

Oops, my bad...I could have sworn that was protecting the PTO clutch.

Anyway, is the correct fuse installed? I think it's supposed to be 15A. And do you mean 'won't start' or 'won't crank'? If it keeps blowing that fuse (and it's the correct fuse) you've got a short somewhere...start tracing wires.

You can't check for shorts visually...use your multimeter to look for a wire that's grounded that shouldn't be.

yep did that.

Actually I think I am onto the problem. The old owner eliminated some of the safety switches and I took out one more. I think some are N/O and some are N/C which need to treated differanlty to be taken out

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.
