LT1045 switch on clutch
PTO wouldn’t work after reattaching deck. There is a switch on the clutch that has a broken wire. I don’t know its exact function and illustrated parts list calls it an interlock. I don’t know if it was already broken, tractor came with the house. I know some safety features are already disabled, like seat switch and I don’t need to put key switch in reverse to back up even with PTO engaged ( Back when it worked).
My questions are, 1 function of that switch? 2. What engages clutch when PTO switch is on? 3. Does the wire connector just pull straight off, or is there a release tab or the like? Thanks

I pulled the clutch today, which was pretty easy. The wire had been previously spliced and I improved a bit on that, then encapsulated the repair in silicone.
Seems clear this isn’t an interlock as the IPL says, and is the actuation source. I must have pulled apart the previous repair when twisting the pulley to get the belt on. It will be easier to reattach the deck now that I have done it once. It was certainly MUCH easier to detach it second time around.

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.
