1863 Starting Problem
On Friday I was mowing and had to stop to clear the grass chute. Then the mower would not start again. I would get 2 faint clicks only. The dash board lights would come on. Later I was able to get it to start but it would shut off after a second or two. We checked the battery, starter, solonoid to no avail. It has a new ignition coil, spark plugs, fuel pump, and fuel line filter. I had the starter tested and removed quite a bit of dirt and grease from the receptacle where the starter is inserted. Afterwards it started. I don't know if we corrected a loose connection or what. It has only started once this season and allowed me to mow the entire yard in one session. Every other time time I have to play with it for hours until it finally starts. First it was the gas line filter, next sediment in the tank and this time we have no idea. Any suggestions?

Make sure all the grounds are cleaned to bare metal and make sure there are no wiring issues, such as breaks or wires grounding out.

I would pull the plug from the ignition switch and check all the terminals. My 1641 had the same issues a couple years ago and I found a couple terminals on the back of the switch almost rotted off. Replaced the switch and plug and problem solved. Good luck.

I had a similar issue with my 1863 when I got it. http://onlycubcadets.net/forum/showthread.php?t=18242 The PO said he had been having trouble getting it started. When I was fooling around in the dash making a rod for the hydro I found two red/black wires had come out of the switch. I think you can see the empty connector on the switch in the picture. Check the connection on these wires.

I will make sure that all grounds are to bare metal, check for wire breaks, and check for the wires as suggested by Cannon51. I have replaced the ignition switch twice and checked it with tester. I very much appreciate all of the help everyone has given me. I will let you know how I make out. Thanks again.

A real quick test is to jump the solenoid to see if the starter comes alive. If it does then you can go backwards from there. It only takes a screwdriver to make the test or a jumper cable. I try to do the simplest things first cause I'm real lazy! If the starter is ok then look at things that are closest to the chore that you did last to the tractor. Like emptying the grass bag if you have one or adding gas etc. Chances are that something was bumped or moved just enough to cause it to open the circuit.

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.
