Alrighty, finally got a chance to get to the wires.... I cleaned them, put the grease on.... Stil a click and then a chug. The chug is not an engine chug. I'm taking battery back in to have it load tested tomorrow just to make sure.

The clicking noise you are probably hearing, is the Starter Solenoid chattering possibly due to a low battery. This is why you have to know (A) the battery is good, and (B) that it is fully charged.

127 not starting
1 other thing at this point I might add is to make sure where the ground fastens to the frame or engine, make sure that is clean and the bolt and or nut also and tight this is a commonly over looked item. Just thought I would stick my nose in here a little.

correct me if i am wrong,but doesnt a 127 have points????? if so it sounds like he was running it off of a weak battery which shut the ignition down once voltage was too low. i would replace the battery,clean and check all connections and once its running check the charging system.

Yes.... but that has nothing to do with the starting system.

he stated using a jumper pack to start it in the first post. its like driving your car with no alternator,you will only go so far on the battery. no juice = no crank or spark.

J-Mech and R Bedell are giving you good advice. A good battery and clean connections at the battery and grounds should get your starter working.
(The starter/generator (or S/G for short) is that 5 inch by 10 inch cylinder-shaped thing hanging out on the right side of the engine with the vee-belt running to the front of the engine) The three grounding points to check are the short negative wire from the battery to the frame (1) and then the other short ground wire from the starter mounting bolt (2) to the frame (3). clean up those 3 connections plus, as you've already done, the two at the battery itself. When you turn the key, the electricity goes to the starter relay, which in turn sends power to the starter motor, which then rotates the engine. It sounds like your starter relay is working, but not enough electricity is getting to the starter motor. Usually that is caused by poor ground connections or a weak battery. Since the engine was running before, it's entirely possible that once you get the battery and/or ground connections fixed, it'll be running again. Fresh gas and a new spark plug can also improve how the tractor runs and both are easy to do. Be sure to check the engine oil every time before you start the tractor and keep it at the full mark. Good luck and report back on progress. Lots of helpful folks here.

I just bought a new battery and tried it (needed a new one for something else)- Same situation- click from starter and then a little bit of a hiss or brushing sound briefly.
I then had some time at work and was able to watch a bunch of videos on the wiring and got inspired. Bad idea probably- Traced everything now that I understood better what everything was... pull the three ignition connections, put grease on them, same with the solenoid.... checked the ground, looks good. Reconnected battery, when I tried to start, the positive on the battery sparked. I made sure everything was good and tight, happened again. And, the click the starter WAS making and the brief brush hiss sound, now gone. Completely D.E.A.D. So, I may have made matters worse now! ;( I am going to get a multi meter today so I can actually test the battery and solenoid. Found a battery charger in the workshop and will throw new battery on to make sure it is good and charged..... thanks for hanging in there on this with me! It seems so simple when watching videos, why I can't get it, I'm not sure! |

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.
