Cub cadet LT1045
2008
Worked great then won’t start.
Mowed lawn (3Acres)
Dusty but not high grass
No problems. Then pulled a small trailer with some landscaping stones, worked great.
Parked it, went in, had dinner, came out 2 hours later and it won’t start.
12.2V from battery
Fuse is good, continuity test
12.2V to positive terminal of solenoid
Removed engine cover starter engaged to flywheel
Flywheel Turns manually starter disengaged and dropped
Temporary bypass seat safety
Press clutch/brake turn key, lights in display, but no power to starter
Replaced the solenoid (3Pole), but no change
It’s as if there is a safety switch somewhere preventing it from starting but I can’t think of what else it might be.
PTO is not engaged
Is it possible that the Neutral (lever in back) switch is not engaged even though it is pressed in? I can push the mower even though it is pushed in, so I’m thinking that may be the problem. Any way to bypass that?
Thoughts?
