Welcome to OCC! You're at the right place for your cub troubles. :beerchug:

Sounds like a bad ignition switch to me. Welcome to the site

:Welcome2:

So, to clarify, is your complaint that your 1440 won't start or that the engine starter does not roll over...???

Well it turned when i jump starter and solenoid.....didnt try to get it running.....

Sounds like a malfunctioning safety switch or bad ingnition switch. Possibly bad connection at ignition switch.

Time to break out the multi-meter and check what Kelly said.

Here is a sequential Wiring Diagram for the Starting Circuit for the 1440

The Ignition switch only makes contacts (B to S) in the Start Position
The Brake Switch only makes contact when the Pedal is depressed
The PTO Switch only makes contact (C to D) in the OFF Position.
Obviously, you have to have a good fuse.
