Tom, I agree. I keep a small tube of it in my wiring toolbox and use it on just about everything that carries a current. People who only own new things or people who prefer/can afford to send work to a shop might not realize it, but those of us who work on "vintage" equipment know that an oz of prev...

So back to it. I pulled the section of harness that runs under the dash pedestal. There are two connections at the guage cluster, one at the reverse safety switch, one connector plus a ground at the ignition switch, two connectors at the PTO switch the connector to the main harness and another back ...

So I stopped at the point where I tried to start the tractor after replacing the PTO clutch connections. As I alluded to previously, a few years ago I installed a starter button after becoming frustrated trying to troubleshoot an ignition issue. Now, the starter button would spin the motor but the m...

A quick note, one thing I meant to add last night but forgot, was to say that I'm probably (as much as I hate to) going to redo the connection at the PTO clutch. After I had completed doing it yesterday, I realized I had terminated both PTO side wires with female terminals and both main harness side...

As backup, I had purchased an on/off toggle (one of the cool aircraft style ones with a cover) an inline fuse and some heavy 14ga wire. As I said before, I'm not much good at Sherlocking electrical gremlins and I was prepared to bypass the whole mess if I had to. After the power wire had come out of...

After cutting the connector off the PTO clutch side, I pulled the harness side out of the left side of the tractor just behind the battery pedestal. This gave me a little more slack and made it easier to work. I usually like using shrink and crimp connectors like those made for marine applications, ...

I was finally able to take a good look at the 2182 today. Since I knew the PTO connector needed to be replaced ( it had been damaged by the belt and one of the male terminals wouldn't seat properly) I figured I'd start there. The connections I had were 2 green wires from the main harness to one blac...

Thanks for the welcome guys!


Which Brandenburg show is that? I'll make it if I can. I did see a "Cub Cadet Auction" posted a while back . I didn't make it to that either, thankfully. I can't afford any more projects and it'd have been like taking my daughter to the dog shelter to "just look around".

Thank you Sir, that connector sounds like the infamous (and usually melted) "bulkhead" connector on IH Scout IIs. IH ran just about everything from the engine bay to the rest of the truck through one big connector at the firewall. This included a wire which carried the full output of the alternator ...

That is mighty good information Mr. Williams. Like I said, the only issues I've ever had with this thing have been electrical. It runs like a beast. A few years back I was having starting issues... I had to turn the key off and on a few times before it would (finally) fire like nothing was wrong. Ev...

OK, some questions on the "main" diagram for anyone that might know. Question 1- Is the "Rev Relay" the relay to check for my PTO issue? I don't see another on the diagram and only found one on the tractor, but mine is 5 pin and the picture shows a 4. Question 2- What is the component labeled "Mag" ...

Thanks for the replies, and especially for posting the diagrams! The connection at the clutch: it is damaged. Looks like it came into contact with the moving belt which wore a groove in the connector. No bare wire anywhere, but while the two pieces of the connector still "connect" it looks like one ...

Hello all, I'm troubleshooting a PTO issue and can't seem to find a wiring diagram anywhere online. If anyone knows where I can obtain one, I'd very much appreciate it. In the meantime, I'll lay out the problem, maybe one of you has seen it before. PTO was working fine, I was mowing a section of tra...

Hi, I've been an IH guy since my parents purchased a Traveler new back in '77. I've owned a few Scouts since then myself and a few years back my Uncle gave me his old 2182 (Yeah, I know it's not an IH). It's It's pretty rough but keeps running and mowing (most of the time) so I figure it's worth kee...
