I bought a Cub Cadet 782 last year. It will not fire. Turns over well. Put new coil on it, no change. I haven't got a manual for it yet. I know some of these had a troublesome switch or two. Any of you guys out there have one of these? What is most likely killing the fire? Thanks Tracy ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

Tracy, I have a 782 that is my favorite mower tractor! It's just comfortable for me. On the no fire, would guess the usual suspects? Points, condenser? The deck engagement switch could be a problem, have fought that a time or two. Also have a 1450 and a 1650 CC. Got a new switch off E-bay once that was backwards! 1650 would start if the pto was engaged but not if it wasn't! |

| Maybe the seat safety switch, the one where if you lift your butt off the seat, it kills the engine? Maybe look for a bare wire going to one of the safety switches, maybe a mouse had lunch on the wire during the winter. |

Grayray, I don't think they have a seat safety switch. One other possibility could be the 'neutral start switch'. My 1450 if you don't have the brake pedal in just the right spot it won't start! |

It has a seat switch and the neutral pedal switch. Checked both of them. Has a pto switch lockout also. I wonder if the ignition switch has went bad. Heard that they were a problem. Any help appreciated. Thanks Tracy ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |
