Cub Cadet CC 30 H - Won't start or Won't move fix and tips

[@donhobbs3667]

Pleased to add my comment about how much i appreciate your video. I was about to load my mower onto the truck for a trip to the repair shop because of a no start issue. I ran over one of the dog's Kong toys last Fall and the mower sputtered to a stop. I thought it might be related to one of the interlocks but did not think of checking the deck chute. Sure enough, thanks to your video, i checked it and the chute cover was damaged from its encounter with the Kong. Repaired the damage and we're back in business! Thanks!

[@garywatlington3730]

Just had my new one delivered today, could NOT get it to move. Pushed the little silver lever in the back and bingo!! Thanks for sharing.

[@branstasko1]

I could kiss you man. Bought mine brand new and spent 2 hours trying to find out why it wouldn’t move. Nothing in starter guide about the pin in the back!

[@suzannegmirek1520]

Thanks so much. My husband has his Club Cadet for a month or 2 and it was working. He stopped it and it wouldn't restart. He couldn't figure anything out from the manual and I found your video. It was either the side button or the sparkplug, because he did them both before getting back on and now it works. THANKS!

[@glennmaccrimmon2375]

Vegas Dave TV, you just saved me a haul to the repair shop, not to mention the eventual bill. I knew about the seat safety switch, but you showed me that fussy one on the discharge chute. Thanks a whole bunch!!!

[@aubreystephens363]

I had an issue where mine wouldn't start last fall so i just put it away till this season. Just knowing how to move it without dragging it is MAGICAL. I haven't tried anything yet, but this is soooo informative. I really appreciate you making the video! I'm confident I can find the issue on my own now. Thank you

[@theresajohnson9147]

Thank You so Much for your Video We bought this Mower it would Start But wouldn't/t go so watching your video Was A Blessing got my lawn cut

[@markcaldwell1076]

Just picked one up yesterday from H Depot...couldn't figure out why it wouldn't move...drive was disengaged...Thank you!

[@vegasdavetv]

Enjoy it

[@whitecastle3032]

For the side discharge safety switch, you can press it in, drill a small hole, and put a pin in it so it won't give you problems anymore. I believe there is a video out there showing how to do it. Being a CC30H owner since 2016 I had problems with this for years before i found a solution.

[@adammaciejewski6919]

This video helped me today! The side discharge safety switch got me. Thanks for posting!

[@vegasdavetv]

ya it gets many. me to.

[@user-kt6fp8me6h]

I owe you a beer if you're ever in my area, the discharge sensor by the chute was my issue and I never would have caught that - Thabks so much.

[@vegasdavetv]

very nice

[@wolfax667]

Dude! thank you so much on this video. I really did not have time to dig deep into my mower and was getting ready to send to a repair shop. You saved me a bunch of money and time. It would not start and i did not know about that sensor.

[@vegasdavetv]

glad it helped you

[@DonCurrier]

My no start issue was because the side discharge cover/plastic was not pushing up against the PIN. Once i reseated it, she started right up! Thanks!! for that, and the disengage the hydrostatic transmission tip!

[@vegasdavetv]

your welcome

[@adrianwhite3968]

My pin was out I put it back in and it still didn’t move. I checked my belts and one of the belts was broken. Thank you

[@llllllxy]

Thank you! I did not know there is safety switch behind the blade cover. That was indeed what made the mower not start. Thank you for the tip!

[@vegasdavetv]

your welcome

[@teck6492]

Thank you so much sir!! It was the side push switch for us. Much appreciated.

[@johnnycox2699]

Side discharge sensor is definitely my problem. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping myself and others.

[@vegasdavetv]

your welcome

[@whitecastle3032]

Press it in and put a screw in it

[@ahmetnuman9480]

Thank you so much for the short and direct video

[@deandominguez8629]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Your last tips got me back up and running. Grass Clipping under my Mulching cover!

[@rocket4602]

I have the Club Cadet 30" like this one. Grateful for the tip on how to disengage the hydro drive. rocket

[@sandrairwin378]

Thank you. Thank you thank you. Your video let me fix my non starting 30 inch cub cadet. I had taken the blade cover off to look at the blade. Then put the cover back on and it wasn't right against that safety switch thing. You saved me. Thanks

[@vegasdavetv]

very nice

[@whitcominct]

October in Connecticut means time outside with extra yard duties. I like to mulch the leaves and this is the first time using my Cub Cadet. Several passes are needed to do the job including a tgas refill. Then would not start up. Checking seat switch, working good but the saw a piece of branch stuck in the mulch cover near the switch area. So took off the wing nuts, cleaned off any grass along with the branch and put the cover back on. Mower started, problem solved.

[@jorny32]

Solved my problem with the shoot switch!

[@typehound]

Thanks Dave, you saved the day!

[@jinx0071]

Hi. My fan stopped working. Is it wired to the battery? Thanks.

[@davidlessard9317]

I got this same model. I had it for 2 years. Last year it started hard at times and would blow white smoke some after getting it going. What would cause that? Any possibilities to look out for?

[@barbaratrevino6498]

Thank you so much owner manl didnt hv us this info after an hour of trying found your video so helpful we are running now u r a smart man :)

[@JohnBfree29]

I just got mine in yesterday and today I mowed for the first time until the bags were full I stopped emptied the bags and filled the gas up and got back on and it does nothing. The switch on the side and seat are fine,and I can’t find anything wrong. The transmission switch in either direction won’t let it roll so it was a pain to get back to the garage. No idea why

[@JohnBfree29]

For anyone that might care the clutch/brake pedal pushes into another safety switch located under mower near the one for the mowing inserts. The pin had come off not allowing it to be pressed in. Had to remove the deck to find the issue but it’s all fixed now.

[@ProductsHerbalife]

my mower starts, but will not stay running. I have siphoned out the gas, added new gas, taken off the fuel filter. I would clean the pins in the carb but cannot open the bowl. can you help?

[@flarenator]

here should be a blot under the. carb bowl, unscrew that and look for the jet, if the jet is clogged and you cant see through it stick a thin pin through it and it should help

[@angeldt425]

I have a question about what could be the cause of the deck not engaging to diffrent cut length

[@ktspica]

Thank you!

[@kevinsigal5637]

Only had this for a month started up and worked perfectly fine the first few weeks but now it won’t start up even after making sure the safety switches are engaged. Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.

[@vegasdavetv]

bad battery

[@vegasdavetv]

use warranty

[@stemmentor9700]

Does this mower have a fuse? Am getting ready for spring now, battery was going weak and i think i tried to jump with car bAttery. I see some Cub Cadets have a 20A fuse. Schematics i have looked at doesn’t show a fuse. Just checked seating of deck switch and it wasn’t seated, but is now. I am not even getting light to turn on. trying to find my multi meter right now to test and/or bypass the safety switches, or even see if power is going that far. No headlight, no nada. Thoughts? (i think i have 2018/2019 model.

[@vegasdavetv]

no fuse that I know of. fully charged battery.is important

[@sharonbarr5000]

Hey, my cub cadet 30cc h quit running while I was mowing , I thought it was out of gas so I went to get the gas can and of course it was hot outside so I popped in the house a minute to cool off. Well it started raining and I forgot the gas cap wasn't on it and the seat what's up and so it rained and rained and rained for every day I had I could be off for about 3 weeks so I have drained the gas twice. The tank out with cloth to make sure I was getting it all I change the fuel filter and the spark plug and when I crank when I try to crank it it still does the same thing as a day at shut off it'll turn over and turnover and turn over but won't crank what could be the problem now

[@vegasdavetv]

it could be a new faulty spark plug, it could also ve a sensor switch down by the discharge vhute

[@briangray3351]

My Cub cc30 will crank but not start. Will it crank if the mentioned safety switches are engaged? Thanks

[@vegasdavetv]

I'm not sue

[@RoadTrippinforlife]

As always, good tips brother!

[@lucasburroughs226]

Do you have a video that shows how to replace the battery? Its just clicking. Have had it about 3 years. Its in there pretty tight…..thanks

[@vegasdavetv]

I dont have, sorry

[@doneads6366]

I was mowing like normal. Suddenly mower started to cutout as if it was running out of gas. It wasn’t but I put more gas in it just in case. Tried to start it again completely dead! Checked seat switch, blade in gage switch, Shute switch, and brake switch. All were fine. Jumped solenoid switch it engaged so battery is fine. I didn’t let it turn enough to start. It’s got me stumped. Just wondering if any other ideas before I have to load it up and haul it to the dealer. Thanks in advance

[@vegasdavetv]

not sure, you covered it all

[@doneads6366]

@@vegasdavetv well yeah I watched it all checked all the switch’s and made sure they are all working and making contact. The only thing I haven’t checked is if there is a switch for the brake pedal to be sure if it is completely depressed before starting. I don’t see one but I have not disassembled the plastic panels to see if there is one hidden underneath that isn’t visible from the top side. Is there an easy way to find such a switch without disassembling the body panels? Thanks in advance.

[@whitecastle3032]

Bad gas maybe.. air filter

[@ironman0000]

I think ( and hope ) my battery is just dead. It ran fine all last summer and it sat in my garage all winter. Now this spring I try to start it. The light comes on when I have the key in but no click. No try to start up. Nothing. Then after a little bit, I try to turn the key again and it doesn’t light up. I’m kinda a newb to these small engines. What do I need to get to check and charge the battery? How do I jump start this without killing it? Thanks Oh. And how could the battery die from just sitting in my garage?

[@vegasdavetv]

your battery is gone, mine did to over winter. put a charger on it or get a new one. I suggest getting a trickle charger and leave it on battery all winter, that won't happen anymore

[@ironman0000]

@@vegasdavetv thanks for the reply and suggestion. Ironically I feel better knowing it’s something that simple rather than one of the switches being bad..

[@yepitsheavenlyy]

Question? CC30H will go forward, the reverse switch will in engage. The red light will not light up. Does my RCM module need to be replaced? How do you troubleshoot the switch?

[@vegasdavetv]

replace it is what they do

[@56mountaindew]

Hi Dave, I was hoping to hear my problem but did not so hear goes, I have the same mower and when I turn the key to the right and back center for reverse the light comes on but sometimes it will go off, and sometimes over and over once I start moving in reverse, can you help with this?

[@vegasdavetv]

sounds like a switch or electric issue, check all connections

[@56mountaindew]

@@vegasdavetv Thanks Dave, I'll check

[@56mountaindew]

Hello Dave I like to say thanks you were also right, I didn't thank it could be, because it was sometimey, but I put my hand under the ignition switch , and just push around on the wires and never had a problem since, thank you very much. thumbs up to you helpful youtubers.

[@MadDadVR]

My disengage lever came out. I cant get back in

[@teenerdz]

Thanks for the help.

[@randis2065]

My steering is stiff and hard to turn. Do you know why it would be doing that?

[@MrTrailerman2]

Grass could be clogging the steering gear under the front center.

what if the beer holder spills your beer?

Dis engaged to move it manually.

[@core-cs3pi]

What about the spark plug

[@sandragunn368]

getting an error code 209 when I try and start the blade. It starts up and shuts right down with error code 209. Any ideas on how to fix this?

[@vegasdavetv]

not sure on that , sorry

[@gerardsagliocca6292]

Why do you use a very bright flashlight , which drowns out the object you want to emphasize ? Go look at the videos and you will see what I mean. Also why don't you use natural outside light to shoot your videos ?? Getard

[@deniset3164]

What battery do I buy can't read it thanks.

not near it this week, walmart has mower battery, check size
