This forum really helps
Recall that I've been chasing a hard-starting issue with my S10.....it had a hard time getting started- cranking fine- when cold, just the engine catching and going. It happened a lot when it was below freezing outside, and I remember chasing issues like water in the gas, bad sensors, etc. It went away but as of late no matter the weather it didn't want to crank, like it was electrical. I'd turn the key and the dash would barely light up, it'd crank over slowly, and finally catch, but stutter, stumble and usually stall.
 What I didn't understand was the battery I bought new in January 15. The more mulling I did about it I thought "what would my dad do?" and "what have the guys at OCC taught me?"-Check the simple things first. I thought it may have been a fuel pump issue, but that wouldn't explain the slow crank/newer battery. It's gotta be something electrical. -Disconnect battery cables. Clean contacts with wire brush. Re install, tighten snugly but not red-faced-grunt. -Follow negative cable to actual ground on the engine block. Terminal on the end was rotating on the bolt.  -Remove bolt, clean both contact patches (and bolt) with wire brush. Lots of grease/oil due to the fact that the cable attaches at the bottom of the front of the engine. Replace bolt, tighten like above. Two days later the engine cranks like a Farmall H converted to 12 volt, and it's been below freezing both days. Thanks for the indirect help with my issue guys. I hope that I got it licked.

Glad you got it fixed Dan. OCC has a lot of talent, as far as I'm concerned this is the best Cub site going. Happy Cubbing my friend.

Good job Daniel. Poor pos/neg issues show themselves in strange ways sometimes. Give yourself some credit because there could have been a lot of parts changing involved if you didn't start simple like you did.

Glad you found the problem. With the wide range of people here, there is
probably not too many mechanical problems that the collective knowledge here can't solve. Plus we could solve most of the country's problems too but they aren't asking us

Glad to hear you got it figured out! I used to have a 85 ford diesel pickup. If it got a little corrosion on the battery cable it wouldn't start.

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.
