I am new to this forum. Can I utilize your help in determining why my lawnmower isn't turning over? I thought it was the battery, and purchased a new one. When I turned over the key - nothing. What are my next steps? Solenoid? Starter? Would appreciate your help.

First, welcome to OCC....

Generally speaking, in order for the Starter to engage, the operator has to be in the seat, brake pedal depressed, and the PTO Switch is in the off position. Has that been done...???

Yes - brake engaged, PTO off, and in the seat.

Make sure the new battery is charged. Just because it's new doesn't mean it's fully charged, ask me how I know.

Check main fuse. Should be under the hood somewhere close to the battery.

Are your safety switches working? A switch may be bad, whatever mechanically compresses the switch may not be doing so (broke, out of adjustment). May have to just start tracing where you have current.

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.
