RZT 42 No start
Hi,
I bought this mower last fall and last week tried to start it for this season and no go. The battery was fully charged and all safety sensors seemed to be working. I suspected the solenoid might be shot so I bought a new one. Installed it and still no start. I realize that the solenoid is installed backwards and should be under the seat but that's the way it came. I have added a few pics of the solenoid I installed. I didn't take any pics of it before I removed all the wires so I may have put them back incorrectly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Wiring looks correct as long as the cable opposite the yellow on goes to the big lug on the starter.
Since you didn't give any specifics as to what "no start" means in terms of indications, we can play whak-a-mole, for starters here goes.... The battery connection, circled in green don't look so good. The ground cable connection, circled in red should go to shiny, clean mental. Did you check the fuse, circled in blue?

Thanks very much for the quick reply. Yes the fuse is ok. I had the battery removed and just putback temporally for the photos, I will clean and replace the blue ground wire. Last fall when I purchased this mower it worked fine. Last week when I turned the key nothing no click sound no nothing. I'm not familiar with zero turn machines so I'm basically looking for the procedure to check components one at a time. I just checked the old solenoid and its has continuity. So I guess its was fine. I guess its on to checking all the safety switches. Again thanks for your reply.

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.
