I needed to use my 782 this weekend to move some tree debris around to be burned. So, during the week I got it out and changed the oil, changed the plugs and air filter, and changed the tran fluid and filter to get it ready for the season. Then, I went out Saturday morning (about 32 degrees out) to use it and it wouldn't start. I could hear what sounded like the starter spinning, but not engaging. We jumped it from the car and tapped on the solenoid and got it running. I kept it running for while because I was afraid of shutting it down. Finally, after a while I did shut it down. It started right up after that and was fine the rest of the day. Any guess as to whether you think it's a starter issue, a solenoid issue, a battery issue, or nothing at all to worry about?

Battery, my 1872 did that when I had a smaller CCA battery in it.
I changed to a higher CCA battery, and trickle charge at lease every 8 weeks, and it always starts. |

That's pretty common with the KT and Magnum starters. The bendix drive gets dirty and sticks. Here's the solution. Also note that a socket, ratchet, looooong extension, and a U-joint can also be used to access the bolts that hold the starter onto the engine.

That problem with the starter spinning is quite common on the 782s and 682s.
You can try and lube the starter drive with JB 80. Take of the side panel then spray JB 80 into the starter drive when it is spinning. Should take care of your problem. |

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.
