My key does nothing. I checked the fuse and still no power. Any clues? Battery is charged. Good connections. It worked fine before I stored it.

[@rohihnbarroga4347]

What if you just bought it brought it home from the store brand new then it won't start and stay started? It starts but try to go anywhere and it dies

[@rusted5408]

@rohihnbarroga4347 sounds like maybe a safety switch. For example, if the blades are engaged and you try to reverse, they're going to shut off.

[@rusted5408]

@rohihnbarroga4347 also make sure the parking brake has disengaged (pressing the foot brake pedal and release and the parking brake should release)

[@alicetee7020]

Dude God bless you (Alice's husband) first mow of the year, had given it a total tune up started fine... then NOTHING!!

[@damnthetorpedoes3234]

This has to be one of the BEST tutorials we've ever seen. Our Cub Cadet (an older model for sure) ran out of gas in the middle of a mow. After returning and filling the tank... the engine wouldn't even turn. Brand new battery... and we even changed the fuse. didn't;t realize there were so many more connections to check. Will be checking your other points next. It was also suggested by a neighbor that there is a reset switch after running out of gas? That would probably be too easy... thanks so much for this excellent video.. we subscribed.

[@judysmith9349]

Thanks for your tips. My mower is just a little different than the one you show. one thing, the fuse by the battery is right within reach. Thats the first thing I checked,it was OK. Then I went to the brake safety switch. Very hard to see! I could see that it was engaging the switch but couldn't see to follow the wires. I just felt around a little under there & removed a bunch of debris & dried grass clippings. Decided o try starting one more time just in case that was the problem. (I already had my car & battery cables ready to jump it) Well!! guess what ! It started right up!! Thanks for your easy to understand video!

Just got home from Home Depot with my new Cub Cadet. Hooked up the battery and nothing. My heart sank. Just watched 3 minutes of your great video and found the problem to be the mower was engaged. Disengaged it and she started right up. Thank you for saving me a day of frustration!! Great job.

[@DIYJIM]

I did that before, glad I could help. Thanks for watching.

[@SerpentLord]

Watching this video just one minute told me why my 1045's starter wouldn't engage! I'd hit a metal post that's around my vegetable garden and for whatever reason it made the deck belt pop off(I mow down on Position 2). Put the belt back on...not exactly simple...but then as soon as I turn the key on I kept hearing a click..."What is that?!". That was the solenoid for the deck engagement. I'd never pushed the PTO button back in! What an idiot! I was all ready to call the shop for service.

If you have an electric PTO and a dead battery, do not jump a dead battery and try to mow. The engine alternator can charge the battery or run the PTO but not both. You might fry your alternator coils.

Great post. Unfortunately, I'm still not able to start my LTX 1042 KW. I've put in a new battery, new spark plugs with correct gap, new air filter, and fuel filter. Gas is fresh non-oxy. Terminal wires are fine, I sanded them to make sure a good connection is made. Seat plug fine. I was going to change oil and filter but need to get it started first. The only thing I couldn't locate was a fuse below the battery compartment. Any ideas other than shooting some starting fluid in the cylinders? It makes a whining sound when the key is turned but won't fire up or turn over. Thanks!

You should make a small video and say what you did and put it on one of the small engine channels on Facebook. You will get a lot of answers might help you.

[@jamesjanaszek6287]

When I engage the pro the 20 amp fuse under the seat to the battery blows.

[@DIYJIM]

You might have to have someone look at it. Check the wires maybe something is lose, or has bare wire showing thru.

[@smlink51]

You should also add the solenoid to the check list.

Thanks, good idea but it is a little harder for some to check

Jim I own the Cub Cadet SLTX1054 Hydrostatic if the fuse was bad would I still hear a click noise when I go to turn it over? It makes a one time clicking noise but nothing more. Last year when I parked it for the season ran great so thinking it just might be my battery fully dead?

Maybe your battery maybe try charging your battery or jump it

We have a 2007 model year Cub Cadet GT1554. Sometimes the tractor will not start and the PTO light is on but the PTO switch is off. If we wiggle wires to the PTO and pull the PTO switch on and off a few times, the light goes out and the mower starts. Do you think that the problem is the PTO pull switch is going bad or the actual power takeoff?

[@DIYJIM]

Sorry really not sure but I think I would try changing the PTO switch.

[@blubal42]

There is a micro switch down by the tranny fan on my LTX1046 I can't figure out what it is. There is 2 wires going to it, a yellow and green. The yellow got pulled out due to someone not tying down the wires properly! My guess is it's some type of grounding switch because of the green wire. Doesn't show it in the official schematic! Must not be too important, the mower still runs and mows. Real curious what it would be? I'm a real stickler when comes to disconnected wires! Help? Thanks in advance!

Every JD I've owned has broke down... numerous times. Heard all the "Ya, butch'ya shoulda done this" & "You're not keepin it well maintained"...Bull crap. Treated em better than my kids. Thousands put into them. Tried older, then newer...newer was worse. Thank God I was able to shove it back up the dealers @$$ & get my money back. Every lawn tractor brand has their design flaws or known problems. Knowing that going in, you're almost better off going with a cheaper make, & used. The thousands you save on the purchase gives you a nest egg for repairs. My excellent mechanic & personal friend said "They all break down...even with maintaining them..." I decided to go with a newly serviced used Cub Cadet SLTX 1054 VT. All new belts, battery, fuses, switches, filters, plugs. Tires have 3/4 of original tread. And it only has 377 hrs on it. Before you start rippin' me on my choice, add up all that stuff...now factor in great compression readings and it runs & operates perfectly ...for $475.00. And, with a 54" - 3 blade cutting deck, my double lot (about 1/3 acre & steep hilly sections) is done in minutes, not ours. Hard to beat that. So far, so good. Troll or harp all ya want. But if it breaks down, I have the savings and mechanic friend to fix it...who referred me the man selling it. He was moving to a Townhouse because he done with yardwork. With all that being said...even if it completely blows in a few years...I'm good with it. Just sayin sometimes cheap but well maintained is better than new$$$$$$$$$. Chuck it & get another one. Ya can do that about 6-7 times for the same money as what a new JD will run ya. If not...well when your JD is broken, again, you can borrow my POS...at least you'll have that cool hat to represent....CC's are USA made too...just saying. Are they top of the line? Nope, not even close. But for the money, once again...I'm good.
