I decided to verify the old 129 wires were good. I did an ohms check the wires and repaired some damage wire. The safety switches were broke and corroded so I cut and spliced wires. I hooked a battery up and turned the key! I got the plug to fire! No jumping for joy yet! The starter/generator didn't turn over! No belt on it but turns over when jump from battery directly. All wires are in right position! I notice on a parts breakdown there's a wire on engine to ground! Which I didn't notice at the time! Would this wire be the reason?
Any help? Thanks

Re: Wire hook up
Grounds need to.be good and clean. Could be the switch or solenoid also.

Re: Wire hook up
Yup that's the issues I've had on those tractors , usually a faulty ground more often than not. I'm not near my 149, the only wide frame of the 1x9 series I own, but on a 124 the ground is here below the s/g.

Re: Wire hook up
Starter solenoid is new. I will check the ground when I have a chance. May end up sanding off paint. Thanks for input.

Re: Wire hook up
Is the solenoid clicking when you try to start or not? If it isn't you may not be getting power to and from it to get to the starter
From the first Original to the last x82 Series... you can't beat an IH Cub Cadet!!!
