My wife and I bought a used Cub Cadet 2185 for the local humane society - just for the dogs. Used it a couple of times. I don’t think there is too much wrong, but it won’t run.
• This problem started with a loose ignition switch. When the operator would try to start the mower, the entire switch would turn.
• The wires on the back of the switch became disconnected from the switch
• Using a wiring diagram from Cub Cadet.com, I’ve reattached the connections (I believe these are correct.)
• On the dash, the lights will come on, but the starter won’t engage.
• It’s like the blades are on, or the operator is not pushing down the brake pedal, or the operator is not sitting on the seat and due to safety switches, the mower won’t start. (This is my assumption.)
Any ideas? THANKS for suggestions.
