Quiet line Won't Start
The experts on this forum has helped me a lot over the years. I have 5 Quiet lines in various states of condition, a few running, a few not. All are 1000's or 1200's. My goal over the winter is to get 4 of them back in top running shape, decks on and ready to mow.
I am going to work them from easiest, least problems to worst. First one is a 1000, runs and starts great. Mowed with it last Monday. I had to turn the key a couple of times to get it to start a few times. It was if the clutch was not pushed in to start. Went to start it Friday and NOTHING. I checked the battery with a voltmeter and it showed 12.54 volts at the terminals. Terminals are clean and tight. What can it be? What are my steps to diagnose and repair? Thank you for all replies!

First thing is find the wire diagram for your tractor.
https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/showthread.php?t=22 (lets see if my copy and paste worked, if not: Resources > Technical Library - Tractors - Wiring Diagrams - WF) Then check that your safety switches/interlocks, clutch switch and pto switch. make sure they're being actuated and are closing properly. After checking that then check for power at the starter solenoid signal with the key in the start position. If you don't have power at the starter solenoid signal, then you need to start working your way back to the battery and figure out where your break is. If you have good power at the starter solenoid signal then is your solenoid actuating, and if it is actuating is there good loadable power out of the solenoid. To test for "good loadable power", hook up an old school head light to and make sure it illuminates the head light. Then make sure you have good power to the starter motor. I know it's not the most easily understood set of instructions but it should lead you in the right direction.

First thing I would do is pull the key switch and make sure all
the terminals are clean on the switch and the plug. Could be as simple as that. Or maybe not but an easy thing to do that more then likely needs done anyway. Can also test the switch with your voltmeter while you have it out. Ken

Thank you for your reply! I have cleared my schedule for this afternoon and I am going to start work after lunch today. I will use a can of spray WD40 Contact Cleaner on connections and switches. I will post a report around 5 PM

After all your connection are clean it doesn't hurt to apply a light coating of this...

I think I got it figured out. I used jumper cables to jump from battery to starter terminal and tractor started right up. I quickly determined the neutral safety switch is not working properly. I will remove and clean it then reinstall tomorrow and check it again. Thanks to everyone for all suggestions, replies.

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.
