Newer Toy/ Look what followed me home

[csrussell]

About a month ago my wife found an ad on Facebook for a Cub Cadet 2155. She showed me the pictures and I said to see if we could go look at it. Saturday we went and looked at it and it liked me so much it followed us home.
It needed a new tire and a pto switch. The new tire went on within 24 hours, but I didn't want to spend $30 on a switch. I found an aftermarket on greedbay for $15 shipped but finally was told, by my wife, to just go and buy the switch from the dealer. I've mowed with it a couple times now and it seems very tight and like both previous owners took good care of it.

Chris, very nice! Looks like it does a good job of mowing.

Chris R. Nice little tractor. And I agree with Kraig about doing a nice job mowing.

Well after a couple weeks of mowing the pto stopped working again. This tractor spent more time outside than I originally thought. Somewhere in the ground side of the pto circuit it would no longer make connection. I didn't like all the safetys on mower anyway. I created a new ground circuit. I used a new switch, a momentary on switch, a relay and wiring. For the positive side of the relay I used the positive wire that went to the reverse satey switch. Works great and shuts off with the ignition and then when you restart the tractor hit the momentary switch and fire up the deck.
