I would "highly suggest" that you seriously look at the power that is feeding the Starter, both positive and negative (ground) connections. All cables, connection points, and terminals have to be in good working condition, with no corrosion, rusted, corroded, burnt, or loose connection(s). All things needs to be clean, bright and tight.

It's all very clean. I will check the ground, but as I said previously, stored indoors. Thanks for your advice.

Take your spare starter to your vehicle and hook good jumper cables to the starter and observe how it spins out (spools up as you say).
Do make sure the positive is to the stud and negative to body of starter,as it will run backwards and your "test" would not give any results. Guessing you could check voltage just as you do/did on your tractor. Just might give you some incite of your condition of the tractors wiring. |

Thanks old George. I will do that, snd as RBedell suggested checking cables. I'll post the results. Maybe some pics. Thanks to you all.

Since he didn't post what the battery voltage was, there is no way to know that.
If you are going by the 11v at the starter, that looks pretty good to me. 10.8 is good too if 11 was nominal voltage. No way from the info given can you say there is a problematic voltage drop. |

Just to clarify on the voltage(s)-Before the 5 starts previously the battery had been at 12.52, and 13.92 after I started it and it was running. I'm not sure how much the at rest voltage may have dropped by not letting it run for a while to recharge. The next day I measured at the starter while cranking in the 11 volt range.( it was fluctuating a bit while turning over). When it didn't fire, I realized I forgot to choke, so I stopped cranking( I was holding the negative probe with my free hand). I set the choke and resumed. It was in the 11 volt range again, with the lowest fluctuation to 10.8 when it started. While running, I measured 14.2 at starter. The connections at the battery and the starter are very clean and tight. As I had mentioned earlier, the condition of the harness, other than some electrical tape having worn through revealing the headlight wire insulation, seems good. No exposed copper, or wear on the insulation. To investigate it further seems like I'd have to take off the panel thats like a firewall, to get a closer look at the back side of the key, and look at the point where the harness passes through. Looks like that could be a little bit of a pia. Again, many thanks for your thoughts and advice.

In no way is my comment here argumentative. I am glad the oil worked and your up and running again. All I would suggest it that you fully charge your battery and then load test it. If you don't have a load tester most places that sell batteries can do this for you. If you do that and all checks out at least you will know that your battery is providing enough cranking power. A battery that is not putting out enough amps can eventually damage the starter.
Glad its working for you in any event.

A 1.5V drop at the starter during cranking is completely acceptable. I wouldn't worry about it at all.

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.
