Ok. so you remove your NEWLY installed starters every couple months and lube them?? I have never once put lube or oil on any new starter of this kind. An S/G starter with a lube hole I have.

Yes, Power problem as I have stated already.. A little oil might make it so your weak battery has an easier time temporally.

I'm sorry you aren't familiar with this issue Coop. You learned something new today.

Even if it does need a new battery, it doesn't take this may posts to figure it out.

Post number 4 said it all. I can't force the OP to work on his tractor. And by the way.... It's not fixed yet

And you did not answer the question.

I can be running the tractor for a period of time, shut it off for a few minutes and go to start it and have the same thing happen. Most times a couple clicks with the key and it starts. Turns the engine over like it should. How would I check for a short?
So,, you didnt have to lube the starter for 2 years. Then you replaced with 3 new ones within a few months... And lube is the issue according to Jon.. Well, Lube away

I agree with J, lube the bendix shaft. Do it to dads 1811 about every 2 years. For whatever reason it seems to hang up (or in this case, in) just about the time for spring oil and filter change/blower removal.

Ok, here it is- I got my meter out and rang out the battery cables. I looked at the harness as it went under the cowling against the frame, and while some of the electrical tape was worn so I could see the wires going to the head lights, is was just the electrical tape that showed any real wear. The battery before I started this was at 12.52 volts, and the tractor had been sitting since Sunday. I pulled the starter, got a small screwdriver and some 3 in 1 oil. I put a couple drops on the front of the shaft, advanced the gear with the screw driver, and put a couple drops on the back side of the shaft. I worked the gear back and forth with the screw driver. Reassembled. The tractor fired up first try. I got out my meter again and measured 13.92 volts while running. I shut off and re started the tractor 5 times. If the problem returns in a short amount of time, I'll say this wasn't the solution. but....until then. Thank you all for your help and kind advice helping me keep my tractor running.

How about this test.....???

What is your voltage, as measured with a VOM or DVM, at the starter (Large Terminal to ground).....while the engine is turning over..??

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.
