I have the brake down, PTO off, in neutral, and turn the key nothing.

There is a Bosch relay hooked up to the starter, and while turning the key I can feel it buzzing. The odd thing is, I started it and pull it out of its parking place, to grease all the tractor and deck fittings. When finished when to start it an nothing. Dash light is showing dis-engage PTO, I have the PTO dis-engaged.

As I am not the greatest electrical troubleshooter and help/ideas will greatly be appreciated. Plus both fuses show continuity.

Thank you for your time.

Turn the PTO on/off a few times and see if the light goes out. You should be able to hear it engage/disengage with the key on.

How much charge do you have in your battery? Try jumping it. A relay won't close/open if it doesn't have enough power and can vibrate or buzz a bit. Think of a dead battery in your car clicking and not starting. Same thing. Not enough to keep the contacts together with load.

This series of tractors, cyclops, have many interlock switches. Each has a connection may become loose or dirty reducing the voltage. Suggest cleaning each switch to wiring contact plug, key switch, PTO switch, brake switch, neutral switch and seat switches.

Your suggestion is my next move. If after that, and still no start, it is giong to the dealer.

Other than safeties, check your grounds, and check them again. I don't think the relay would do anything if a safety switch was open. If it's making noise it's getting some power from somewhere. Don't give up on it too quick unless you're in a bind.

Battery replaced with a new battery. Still nothing when turning the key to start.

Old battery pto would not click. New battery pto clicks both on and off, but dash light when turning the key shows to turn pto off, when the pto is in the off position. But stil, l nothing when turning key to start.

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.
