I agree with most of the above posts but want to add, the battery could be SO dead that the charging system spends all of the electricity that it makes trying to charge the battery and there is not enough left for the pto to run on.
Or (less likely) the charging system doesn't work and there isn't enough power in the battery to start the engine or run the pto but there is enough to keep the engine running.
The best insurance for keeping your Cub running good is to NOT let your friends borrow it. They will break your toys and then swear they don't know what happened, leaving you with the repair bill.
