I even got the deck off and cleaned a ton of compost out of that, finding out the blades are as good as new without even a nick. I will get all that cleaned and painted soon. Fellows I was the nut between the steering wheel and the seat but it was a productive day.You were right about that switch Dave, thats ecactly what it was.
I edited your post. Please do not post how you bypass safety switches.

I am glad that you got it fixed.

Don't Bragg to Soon
 
Tried to start the 1864 this morning and just got a click from the selonoid, after a few tries it starts. How should I decide if I need a new one or just the relay I see you posting about?

Aha, now you have exactly the same problem I have on the 2084!

Well, I've lived with the problem for 2 years now. I can't say it particularly bothers me, but I should fix it. From what I've read here I would expect that a relay would solve the problem. It's a cheap and easy fix so I'd suggest you give it a try.

The Relay
 
Dave it just bugs me so much I have to try the relay, I will always wounder when the time may come when it wont start and where I might be when that happens. I read that you shouldn't push the tractor very far if the motor isn't running. How far is to far do you think?. I will do some reading on the relay and give it a try, let you know what happens.

Gave a Battery a try first
 
Dave, I put another battery in (not a new one) and it'sbeen starting ever since but to be on the safe side I have a relay on the shelf.

Great news! The simplest fixes are the best ones for sure.

1864 Cub Cadet
 
Since I bought the tractor used, I want to change all fluids, I can only find a synthetic Cub oil is it ok to use regular Hy-Tran oil?

HY-Tran for the hydro.
