Sounds like an electrical wiring issue, specifically the "grounding". Look at all your ground connection, that they are clean, bright and tight.

wiggle all the the wires until they slide a little on the connector. The battery posts, the ground, etc. Sometimes corrosion builds up at the interface and you dont see it, but it loses connection.

Once you find the culprit clean it up well

"had it serviced"?

Did it come back from service non-running? I'd be hopping mad and be telling them to fix my tractor that they broke.

Connections, battery charge and Check the interlocks (PTO, Brake).
Try turning the motor by hand, I have seen the starter lock against the flywheel from low voltage. Turning the motor by hand will release it.
It is usually something simple, but DO NOT hit the starter with a hammer, that breaks the magnets inside.

To me "clicking" sounds like a bad silly-noid. Those darn things are so picky. Or I should say they are at my house anyway. If any of the "safety" switches were ingauged it would not click. But deffinatly check grounds good and try jumping the silly-noid with the key on. If it turns over jumping the silly-noid then its bad. On a QL getting to them sucks!!! Gotta take off the gas tank and the small shroud behind it on the colum.

Hope you get it fixed.

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.
