XT 1 Driving me nuts
Help with diagnosis.
The Cub Cadet XT! Kohler engine had sat for a while during the dry spell. Started it to mow, since then the back yard back yard has shot up like anything after about two weeks of constant rain. Started it after the grinding a few times, start up and started to mow. Hit a section of trees that had fallen and hidden by the grass. The mower stopped. Tried to restart no luck, just barely turned the engine like a discharged battery. Took the battery out that set it on the truck battery (with cables). for about 15 minutes. By this time its late, starting to sprinkle light going down and the mosquitoes were out in force. So in my haste to put the battery back in, I hooked it up backwards. Turned it on, the started spun (obviously backward) Too late tp carry on so that night I put it on an actual charger. Put it on and a thump like noise from the starter, tried it again and again the same noise. Sounds like alignment is messed up and it can't engage the flywheel. Take the starter off and try to realign (not sure how that works. By a new starter for $50.00 and just go that way. Any ideas. Thank you. ( I got the Cub Cadet because green paint is very expensive). I took the starter off and put it on a battery and it spun, not very aggressively but it did and the gear came up. The fuse under the seat was blown so that was replaced. I can hear the solenoid clicking. Any secret fuses or anything else to consider.

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.
