Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
This is an electrical issue.
I have a Cub Cadet 1045 that worked a week ago.
When I try to start it, the head lights came on, but no click noise in solenoid, and no crank at the starter.
The main problem is that I have no power to the starter.
I took the cover off and I saw the starter clutch stuck in the flywheel.
I took the starter off the tractor and connect it to battery ..nothing but sparks.
I took the starter apart, and discovered that the magnets inside were loose. I reglued the magnets, I put it all together, connected the jumpers ,and the starter spins (fast) . The problem is that the starter spins in the wrong direction ..from left to right and is not possible to engage the flywheel. It should spin from right to left, and it does spin (at low speed) if I reverse polarity.
Is this happening because I may have installed the magnets 'upside down '?
I still do not get power to the starter.
PTO is off, when on it shows on display.
The brake is on and locked -show on display.
Seat safety is temporary baypassed
The engine rotates by hand.
I use a voltmeter and a continuity tester.
I checked the solenoid, is good, has continuity and power when I turn the key on/off.
The start switch is good ..I took it apart and checked continuity when I turn the key. :
I checked the fuse.. I have continuity, and power.
I have continuity from the positive battery terminal to the positive starter terminal.
I just can't figure it out...or I am not checking good enough.
Thank you for any suggestions and advice.
