It wont start - barely rolls over
Hi everyone,
My first post, i will give a short history behind my cub cadets, but more importantly the issue at hand. I have a 1650, 1450 and 129. Plus two Farmall Cubs. Over the winter my 1650 which is use for most tasks, including blowing snow and tilling the garden, wouldn't start. I used it one day and went out and i couldn't roll it over the next. When the engine comes up on the compression stroke it gets to about TDC and stops. I figured it was a bad battery since the Wisconsin winter was extra cold. Got a new battery, same issue. Wondered if the starter was bad. Swapped the 1450 starter with the 1650. Still can't get it going. So i called my grandpa who's the true cub cadet nut in our family. He's got around 5-8 cub cadets currently.. (we think.) lol.. He "Loans" them to friends and neighbors.. Well he figured my issue was the compression release spring on the cam. On Saturday, i pulled the motor and dropped the oil pan, and found an Intact Compression Release Spring.. So now i'm stumped. Anyone have any suggestions what could be the issue? Side note.. After pulling the motor, i did notice the electric clutch is tight, it can be turned by hand but it has some resistance. The 1450 springs freely compared to this one. Could this be part of my issue? Thanks again.

Check and clean the electrical connections especially the grounds.

Second for check and clean all electrical connections. Also make sure that the compression release spring is installed correctly.

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.
