Chasing a Starting Problem
I have looked through many of the threads regarding battery/solenoid/starting issues but haven't found one that replicates my issue. Perhaps someone here has some insight.
My tractor is an XT1 46", 13APA1CT056, mfg in 2016. It has served me well since I bought it used in late 2019. About a six weeks ago, I ran into a rapid clicking sound coming from underneath the battery, did some investigations, and figured out it was a bad solenoid. I replaced it and it operated well for a few weeks. We had a severe cold snap here following Christmas and the tractor sat idle for a couple of weeks. I tried to start it back up after the thaw and i got one popping sound from what sounded like the battery, not the solenoid, and then nothing. I checked the newly replaced solenoid for operation and continuity and it checked out just fine. The starter cranks over just fine when connected directly to a battery. Trying to crank gives no sound from the solenoid, not even clicking. Battery tests as OK according to the auto shop, and I charged it up and is delivering a good 12.8 V, but I am very suspicious that it is actually still good given that this happened just after a severe (for Oklahoma, at least) period of cold. Battery is 3 years old. I am left with the thought that it is either a bad battery or a bad connection from the battery to the solenoid. I think that I am going to get a new battery for the coming season unless someone else has something that I should try. Thanks Brian

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.
