Bought my first cub cadet...how did I do?
Well...I have been looking for a week so I finally bought my first one...what do you think?
I paid $1400. The good: No rust Runs strong Drive shaft replaced last fall The bad: PTO switch must be held up for mower deck to work Headlight switch broken Mower deck pretty well worn Went to start it up to back off the trailer and the starter won't engage! No clicking or anything! Fuel pump runs...ideas?

Starter worked fine a couple of hours ago. PO disabled the safety interlock on the brake... But I pushed it in anyway. Glow plugs work, fuel pump runs, but no starter noises. Ammeter does register heavy discharge though when I turn the key.

Bill, you did well. The PTO switch has a contact that is closed when it is in the off position. The tractor will not start unless the switch is "off". Wigle the switch with the key in the start position to see if that helps. There is also a brake switch that must be closed for the tractor to start. Your starter could also be going bad as well. I would check the switches first. There is a starter upgrade post on here somewhere that explains how to replace the starter. Also check all your ground wires. I think there should be 2 heavy ground wires, one on the frame and one to the engine cradle or block. Good luck!

Jump it
With a simple jumper cable from the battery to the starter (Positive) and the other to ground on the frame will tell you right now if it is the starter. I would do that first to save all of the safety switch detective work. Everyone is right here but if you want to know up front whether the starter is bad jump it. Otherwise you got a great deal in my opinion. I prefer yellow and white but red will do in a pinch!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
