It won't hurt to replace the cables with a larger size and run a ground straight from the battery to the engine block, ask me how I know.

Ok, Right now the ground is under seat and bolts to frame next to battery. All I have is 4 or 6 gauge battery cable.

Run the largest stuff you have. Crappy grounds are one of the most common issues with Cubs. Look through some of the other hard to start threads that have been posted this year. When I do one I use welding cable and I solder the ends on. You can pick it up at Tractor Supply.

Welding cable is good stuff. If you're unskilled like me, and can't solder, you can pick up a 1 gauge or larger battery cable at an auto supply with the ends already on. Just give them the length you would like.

I have a 782/KT17 with a no-start (but used to) so I'm following this thread closely. I'm starting with a better ground.

Soldering cables is easy, you cut small pieces of solder off inside the lug and fill every gap with them, heat the lug with a torch until solder boils, stick the stripped cable into the boiling solder and let it cool for a minute while holding it. Then heat shrink and done, works every time. Always good to wear big gloves and do it out in front of you, in case some solder comes out when you put cable in.

Crimp is OK but solder is better. I just put the terminal end in the vise, heat it with a propane torch, melt rosin core solder into it the slip the cable into the molten solder, heat it a little while longer to get the solder into the cable strands then let it cool. Heat shrink and your done.

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.
