Cub Cadet LT1045 Won't Start

[dcmjcook]

Mechanic Mark,

I have been working a starting issue with my series 1525.

I have found the schematic drawings, but their resolution is very poor. So poor that I can not read the colors for the wires. There are three different electrical schematics. Page 84 does not show an RMC it shows a relay and a monitor, Page 85 has an RMC module and a relay. Page 86 has an RMC, a relay and a starter with the solenoid in the starter. Both P85 and 86 show a set of wires going to the position of the monitor shown on page 84 but noi mention of a monitor. I am know thinking that the item I thought was the RMC module is in fact the relay. I do not think my series 1525 has an RMC on it.

I need to figure out how to check the relay and the wires coming to it to determine why the relay was getting out; why the mower will start with the relay pulled out; why the mower will not turn the PTO on when the rely is out.

I appologize for taking so long to reply. I had back issues and had one of those microscope surgeries to trim a bulging disk and remove spurs that had been pressing on the main nerve to my leg and feet. I am improving and walking ever well. I am still not allowed to bend over. Working on the lawn mower is on hold.

I will send another note after the doctor clears me to crawl around on the ground again.

Thanks again for replying to my posts. I appreciate your input.

Don

Were you able to find a wiring diagram? I am looking for a wirning diagram for a model 1525. I found a wiring diagram for a 1045 on Google searcing for "electrical schematic 1525".

one of the google search returns listed pictures of various cub cadet schematic drawings. One of those drawings popped up a dialog box that said the diagram was for a 1045.

I was able to download a service manual from the Cub Cadet web site. That manual was for 1000/1500 Series Riding Tractors. THe manual did not have any electrical schematics. The manual listed step by step electrical trouble shooting items with pictures. the steps listed match what the 1045 schematic indicates.

Did replacing the PTO switch fig your problem?

Yes the bad switch repaired my 1045, and it ran fine for about a month, but now its down again. It turns over this time but will not start. just constantly turns over until the battery runs down.

Post # 7 mtd pages 84-86 wiring diagram for 1525 kaw. 15 hp year 2003.
