I know the answer is probably to replace the battery and then see if the solenoid works?

The PTO is making a bit of noise. Its kind of a rubbing sound but as soon as it is engaged, its perfectly quiet. I don't recall it doing this before but its been since last fall when this tractor was used last. I did remove the PTO to replace the oil seal. Did I mess up an adjustment? Bearing just going out? My manual is a Vanguard repair manual so it dosnt cover attachments such as PTO's.

Get the test light out and see if the terminal that energizes the solenoid is getting power. You may have other problems like a bad connection, a safety switch, a PTO switch, a relay and on and on.

You very well could have a bearing going bad in the PTO.

The PTO I have is the one that says non adjustable in your pic.

Now that you mention safety switches, I feel completely stupid. This tractor dosnt have the fenders and seat back on it yet so the seat switch is unhooked. Doh!

As far as the starting goes you also need it in neutral, the PTO needs to be off and the brake pedal needs to be down.

If your PTO is toast you may want to take a look at what these guys sell.

You may be able to replace the bearing, J-Mech did this write up on how to do it.

Got this one all wrapped up and mowed with it today. As of now, she is running like a champ. This one needs some other work, its missing the headlights, one of the front deck wheel assemblies has been broke off for as long as I have owned it. Shes mowing good for now though.

The missing headlight on the 2000 series is pretty much standard. You find more of them with a missing head light than you will with the head light.

If you have the deck wheel parts you should be able to weld it back together. Missing deck wheels is also a 2000 series feature.

Glad you have this one running.

Yeah Ive seen a ton of 2000 series tractors on CL with no headlights. A brand new assembly on Ebay is $75. I may pick up a set one day.

The fella I bought the tractor from back in the day said he had the deck wheel assembly that had broken off and when he found it, he would call me. That was more than 4 years ago and Ive never heard from him. Surprisingly, this thing mows nice and level with three wheels on it but Id like to get that fixed one of these days.

Personally unless you need to mow at night I'd leave the headlight out. They get better air flow without the light. One reason the lights fail is that they get hot from the exhaust being directly under them.

Yeah that makes since. He said they fell out and he mowed over them. Lol The only real issue with them being out Ive had is when mowing on windy days. Ive had grass blow in there and get trapped in the heat shield on the header pipe and catch fire a couple times. Now that the tractor is fixed and isn't over heating, maybe that wont be an issue anymore. I also stop a couple times on windy days and make sure its not collecting grass and it all gets blowed out when Im done mowing.

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.
