Cub cadet wiring diagram

Check battery voltage is over 12.0 VDC and fuse is intact.

The unit requires Brake ON, PTO OFF, and both steering arms out (neutral) to crank. Cycle the components Brake, PTO, and steering arms and try again.

There are no relays, just switches. The wiring diagram is in the operators manual available no fee download from multiple sources including CubCadet. Some alternative part suppliers include the wiring diagram in the parts list.

Most Cub Riders require the PTO OFF, brake ON, and ignition switch in START position.

May be electrical connection/wiring, safety switches issue. Do you have power to PTO.

Brake switch
PTO switch
Seat switch
RCM / reverse switch

Could be any of the above.

Troubleshoot by checking continuity from the M (magneto) pole of the ignition switch to ground. It should be open (no continuity from M pole to ground.

Methodically disconnect switches until M pole to ground shows open. Then test suspected switch.

A DMM or an inexpensive auto circuit lamp tester will do.

If it is blowing fuses my experience is you have a short in a switch or wires. When you put in the pto it blows the fuse. That would lead me to think the electrical short has something to do with the PTO safety switch, wire or circuit..
I am posting this link it is not your tractor but it demonstrates the safety switches on lawn tractor and shows his pto safety switch.
Your issue should be in the pto safety switch or wiring circuit.

Might be something like cut or wire with insulation stripped back touching a ground. Switch could be shorted.

You have a safety switch issue.

a short on the hydro wire have to find chase the wires from pto back if you dont find it take it in because if you dont you will burn up the stater

I just rewired my 782. same wiring as the 682.
All the electrical to the Engine coil runs through the PTO switch. Not sure what your issue is but that's a big failure point

No it isn't hard to change. But before you do, check the wire connection at the pto clutch it's self to make sure it is making a good connection. George

How do you disconnect the reverse safety switch on a cub cadet 2160... where is it located?
