104 wiring mystery
After finishing up work in the shop yesterday I rolled my 104 out for it's daily run-up. The wiring harness sticks out quite a bit and I hooked it with my heel but no apparent damage was done - until I turned the key. Nothing, no click of the solenoid, just nothing. I started the search and noticed a large square lump under the tape (PO did a HD wrap job on the whole harness). When I peeled it open, I saw what looks to a blade fuse block with a piece of house wire jumping the two connections (see pic). One of the wires had come loose - as soon as I reinserted it, the engine fired right up.
I looked up the wiring diagram I downloaded from OCC and the diagram from the service manual (pics are the diagrams I have) but the only fuse I see indicated is for the lights which my 104 does not have. Am I missing something or does this just look like a PO "Mystery Mod" that I should remove and rewire properly? Thanks! Neil

First of all,the wiring harness is not suppose to be routed that way on the frame,no wonder you high heel caught it.And no there is no other fuse.That is a PO mod so he can by pass the safety switch on the clutch pedal.He may have done that because the tab may be broken or missing on the brake rockshaft.

Remember that nothing is fused! Treat all wiring runs with care - securely insulated, safely tied off out of harms way(inside frame rails- You should find steel clips tack welded inside rails.) And Definitely watch out for all rotating parts. Do not let wires barely rub driveshaft or clutch ... its all running at 3600 rpms at full throttle. Will rub thru to ground short very quickly.

DM, clutch pedal switch makes sense. Yeah, I got it in regards to the harness being on the outside of the frame - it's on the list of all sorts of things that need to be done to get it back into shape.
I hear ya William - I've been around moving machine parts my whole life from farm equipment to industrial - spinning parts don't care one bit about what they grab ahold of . . . Hopefully I'll be able to pull the deck and start getting into doing some serious fixit soon - there's just a bunch of bigger fish to fry right now. Thanks for the info guys!

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.
