Default So, why did THAT happen?
Just had the Original out pulling around my neighbor's roller. Yeah, HIS roller, because HE cares how his lawn looks! LOL!

Anywho, he idled the tractor down to stop for a sec and it died. No problem. We tried to re-start it and the S/G tries to spin, but doesn't. You can feel it engage when you hit the starter button but it doesn't spin, even with the belt removed. You CAN spin it by hand, and there's no growling or anything. The battery has 12.5v in it so, I'd assume it was charging and stuff. But now it doesn't even want to spin.

I'm wondering if the brushes went AWOL.

thoughts?

thanks.

Last time that happened to me the battery just didn't have enough juice in it. I don't know how the "O's" are set up, but if it has a PTO switch, try jiggling that around while you're trying to start it.

Wish it were that easy. We checked the battery (12.5v) and then to be really sure, the jumper cables came out. Even tried touching the main post on the S/G. Nothing. Well, no more than what it originally had.

I think I'm going to have to tear into it.

I had the same thing happen with my 100. Ran fine one day and wouldn't turn over the next day. One of the brushes in the S/G had broken. I trued the armature in my lathe and put in a new set of brushes for $5.

I would say that you are going to have to open it up and find out what's going on in there.

Could be something as simple as just needing to be cleaned out.

Yeah, you're right Sam. I need to get in there.

I should have planned a little better when we scheduled our wedding 18 years ago. Pesky anniversaries!!!!

"Hey, honey! I know what we can do to celebrate!"

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.
