I changed the oil filter and oil, hydraulic filter and fluid, fuel filters and replaced the fuel with new. Bleed the fuel lines as already mentioned and installed a new battery. I've doubled up the battery to increase the AMPs as it was struggling on a single battery,

When you bleed the lines, did you crack the lines at the injectors and did you get fuel there?

Yes, I did that. It bubbled air initially then ran with clear fuel.

OK. You didn't do any rewiring, but did you unhook anything? Really odd that it did crank fine before, but not now.

What about the hydrostat. Did you do anything to it, or the driveline? How about PTO? Belts, water pump..... anything that the engine runs that could cause drag on the starter?

Good connections at battery and starter?

Do you have a DVOM?

Last year my 1572 would not start after it overheated. Water pump belt broke. I think I noticed pretty quick. Ended up that it needed a valve job. after valve job it starts and has more power than ever. From what I understand valve adjustment is very important for these engines to start and run.

I would double and triple check your battery cables, and grounds. It sounds like a crappy battery connection to me. If it won't spin over fast, its not going build the heat to start.

I've checked the battery connections today and all showing strong on the meter. I've also pulled the plugs and tested them and all good. So, I'm at a loss and running out of ideas.

Any further suggestions most welcome.

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.
