5254 starting issue
I have a CC 5254 that runs fine when it starts. This is a very long stanging issue that the dealer says was fixed but immediately began again. When trying to start the tractor, the starter wont turn over and there is a click, This is intrmittent but has become more frequent until now when absolutely nothing happens. I have replaced starters and solenoids at least 4 times and the ignition switch one or twice but the problem still reoccurrs. I'm, planning on just running a full power line to the starter with a starting button. The problem is looking at the solenoid the positive already is going directly to the starter. Where would I attach the positive coming out of a newly installed starter swith? I can't even sell it the way it sits!

Grab a set of booster cables
Run them from the battery positive to the starter solenoid battery terminal, then try and start the machine. If it doesn't help, move the cables from the solenoid starter motor terminal to the starter motor positive terminal, and see if that helps. If it doesn't move the cables to the starter motor ground to the battery ground, and see what happens. You've ruled out the start motor, the solenoid, and the ignition switch. The last two pieces are the cables or the battery.

Your starter operational circuitry runs thru numerous wiring harness connectors and safety switches. I would venture to guess you have a corroded or intermittent connection somewhere, so until you are willing to dig in there with a VOM and a test light you are pissing into the wind.

Ironman is correct. Here is a work around that works. Yours is a Kawasaki but the same electrical problem is there.

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.
