Questions and answers
How do you load cutting line
To load cutting line on a Cub Cadet BC280:
1. Remove the old line from the cutting head.
2. Clean the cutting head surface with a clean cloth.
3. Insert the ends of the new line through the circular holes on the side of the cutting head.
4. Push the line through until both ends come out of the positioning tunnels.
5. Pull both ends until the line is tight and the ends are equal in length. If not, adjust by pushing or pulling the ends until they match.
6. Press the exposed line between the circular holes so it lies flat against the cutting head.

I took apart my engine cover to test the ignition coil to my BC 280 weed trimmer and I see a green wire that had come loose from some where and I need to know where it goes. I have a no start problem with it.
