My XT1-LT 42 KH just stopped
Hi all, this is my first post. My XT-1 is 5 years old. I was having trouble starting the unit as I think the battery was near the end of its life. After a few tries of clicking, the tractor would start. It ran fine until I was done. (about an hour) This same scenario happened the last 3 or four times of cutting grass. I was expecting to get a new battery this week. Today, went through the same procedure, it started and I got the grass cut. As I was heading back to the storage shed, the tractor stopped dead. Key turn got nothing. Tried several times and still nothing. Attached my jumper and still got zilch. After looking at things, I realized the battery has a fuse. Checked it out and it was blown. Luckily, I have several more. Put in a new fuse, attempted to start and got nothing. Checked fuse and it was also blown. Put in a higher rated fuse just to see what would happen. It didn't blow but got warm and discolored. Obviously a short somewhere and I have no idea where to start. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Since you know the battery is bad I would start with a new battery, match
your old battery with a good name battery. I would stay away from the 30 dollar one from walmart personally. Put the proper fuse in it, always. Begin cleaning all the obvious connections, battery, solenoid and all that you see. Has to be bare metal to metal. Could easily be overloading circuit because of corrosion somewhere. If all of that leads to the same problem it will be time to start checking circuits with a meter. My guess is a good maintenance going over will make a huge difference. Good luck,  Ken

Thank you WVG. I put this message out to a couple Cub Cadet forums, and most suggested checking wires for damage and possible shorts from the wires or connectors. Yourself and another poster identified the battery itself was the culprit. First hooked up my jump starter, new fuse, and placed mower to the on position. Meter gave the voltage and hour readings. A good sign. Tried to start for a brief test. Fired up. Installed a new battery and all is good.

Good to hear your back on the road. When things are running great
is the best time to start checking out maintenance items. Plus it's just kinda fun. Ken

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.
