possible battery issue on 2166
Hello,
I have a cub cadet 2166 i purchased used from a guy at work. The mower worked fine when I tested it at his place before buying, and at my place on delivery. A day or so later I had issues with the PTO not wanting to engage all the time. Now, the mower will not start, not even crank or turn over. I am thinking this is a battery issue. From what I read the battery can cause both problems.
I used a multimeter to check the battery, sitting cold it read around 12v. When I turned the key to the crank position the voltage dropped to less than 2 v. I am not the most mechanically inclined, but I can usually get buy with a decent set of instructions or a youtube video.
Does this sound like a good place to start, by replacing the battery? Any assistance would be appreciated. The guy offered to buy mower back from me, but I cannot afford a new riding mower. I am hoping this one is not more of a hassle than it is worth.
Any help is greatly appreciated
