MTD Electric Lawn Mower Switch wiring?

Asked Apr 23, 2008, 04:10 PM — 3 Answers
Hi all,

I have a MTD Model # 185-387-129 electric lawn mower...

The wires going from the the power switch to the motor became unattached. The switch has 6 terminals, two rows of three. A black wire that is attached to the external socket is attached to the top? Left terminal. The wire that runs to the motor has three wires, black, blue and red.

Can someone tell me where those three wires attach?

Thanks in advance,

Frank

The best bet is to get a printed wiring diagram and go from there.
