Default 1541 Restart Problem

My 1541 with a M18 Kohler engine has a restart problem after I run it a hour or two with the PTO engaged. I replaced the battery with a Die Hard auto batt. two months ago and cleaned the post clamps and cable connections. The battery tests 13.5 volts and the initial startup is flawless. After shutting down and trying to restart all I get is a buzzing. I bypassed the solenoid switch and when I turn the key I hear it click but the starter is dead. After sitting in my cold shed overnight it starts without a charge. Is it solenoid, battery or what ? Help !!

Default 1541 Restart Problem

I left the positive battery cable connected to the input terminal of the solenoid or relay switch. I did this to test the ignition key start switch. I next connected a jumper wire to the output terminal of the solenoid, (leaving the red cable wire attached to the solenoid and starter motor)and the other end of the jumper wire connected to the pos. wire on my multi meter. Also grounded the meter to the tractor frame. I wanted to see if I was getting 12 volts down to the starter. When I turned the ignition key to the start position the meter read 11 volts and I could hear a hum or buzz but no starter movement.

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.
