Default Intermitent starting issue 104

The other day I parked the 104 after mowing and blew it off with the leaf blower. It wouldn't restart. Just a click at the solenoid and I had power to the sg but it wouldn't turn.

I pushed it into the garage took the sg apart and cleaned it up and put it back together. It fired up so I shut it down and forgot about it.

Yesterday I mowed and the spindle belt popped off. I pulled in the garage and fixed the belt. I went to restart and nothing happened. Same issue as the first time.

Any ideas guys?

Ps it's not charging either. Nothing changes of I ground the field terminal.

Check the battery connections, battery negative to frame and the connection at the solenoid B+ terminal. A poor connection at these points will cause a non charge/ starting issue.

Start by checking all of your connections, make sure that they are clean and tight. Also, check your battery charge to see that it is holding a charge. When you took your S/G apart, did the brushes and connections look good?

Sometimes, it can be little things that you don't suspect. On my 149, the condenser had been painted by the PO and when it was running, it wouldn't run smooth...just a quick split second hesitation. A spark was coming off the condenser where the paint had flaked off causing the hesitation. Cleaned paint off of the condenser and problem solved. Never overlook anything...

The no charge has nothing to do with those things mentioned. I grounded the field terminal and nothing happened so I isolated the problem to the sg.

Connections are all good. I rebuilt the tractor over the winter and the wiring harness was replaced as well

Sounds like the S/G needs to go to a professional shop for examination and/or repair.

Thats what i was hoping not to hear. It is what it is though.

My dad had 2 in his garage. Unfortunately when I brought both of them home neither was the correct size to fit the cub. One is a 10A from a cushman and the other one I have no idea what it is from. Thats one of the few times when my dad saving everything hasn't helped me out.

I bought all of the parts that can be replaced aside from the armature. That was about $60. It would cost me at least that to have a shop do anything to it around here. If the armature is bad I am able to get one on Ebay for under $75 so its a gamble that will either save me about $40 bucks or cost me about $20. It should be here Friday so I will replace the brushes, field coils, springs, studs, and other hardware included in what I purchased and give it a shot.

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.
