I sprayed mine with dry graphite lube (typically used on locks) several months ago (May 20 2012).
Been working perfect since then. ![]() I am happy, no removal yet.

For anyone having the same problem, here's how I resolved it: I took apart the engine shield enough to get access to the starter. I then sprayed a Teflon lubricant onto the threads. I picked up the lubricant some years ago at a bike shop - it goes on wet, but dries to a dry waxy film. That was a couple weeks ago and I haven't had any more problems - it starts right up. The bike shop version of the Teflon lubricant is undoubtedly more expensive than the graphite lube or the PB Blaster dry lubricant.

Does anyone have a pic or diagram of the starter and where it is?

As you are sitting on the tractor, it is on the LH side, low and under the cylinder jug.

Can I get to it from underneath to clean the terminals without having to remove anything?

Thanks Roland. A nice morning story to go with your coffee. When we moved into our house 7 years ago, there was a grandfather plowing a small farm behind our home, our property lines meet so my girls would watch him and wave, eventually we became friends of the family. He became sick and unable to go out on the tractor, without offending the family I reluctantly offered to plow it using the tractor of course, which only happened a few times as it somewhat felt awkward. It's been a few years since he passed and recently I offered again, of which the daughter accepted graciously. His choice in tractor, the 1811. I'm a Chevy guy, so I am looking forward to getting this baby up and running again. It was somewhat buried, tires flat, no gas, and no charge. With all that rectified, I turned the key and the Solenoid is just making a click and buzzing. I cleaned the terminals on the battery, cables, ground, and the solenoid. Hoping to clean up the Starter today and if needed, I'll test the solenoid.
I'm sure Vernon is up there waiting to hear his baby run again!!!! Thanks for your help in advance. |

If it has been sitting out in the weather, most likely it has a rat nest in it. Sometimes they will get caught in the starter.

Since it has been outside....Remove ALL battery cables (hot & ground) clean, polish, and make sure they are bright. Then re-tighten them back down.

Even better, it's been sitting inside her barn. Nice and dry.

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.
