cub 2150 problems

[Mak90]

greetings all, i have been using this forum for months, but i never needed to post untill now. most of my questions were already answered in other posts.

but anyhow

i recently came across a cub AGS 2150

the machine was garage kept since new and i thought "wow what a deal"

i was told it just needed a starter, so i get the tractor, went ahead put down a pot full of money for a new starter, and.........nothing

the tractor will key over and all the dash and front lights come on but it will not crank.

i checked the safety switch under the seat and there is 2 wires coming out of a hole. look like they shouls be attached to the relay under the seat

i put terminal ends on the wires and push them on. the tractor still will not crank.

i have been searching all over the net for reasons or solutions, but have found nothing that will help. so i am posting here to see if you all can help me out. at the moment i dont have any cash to tote it off to the repair shop and i would like to do it myself if i can

any help would be great

Mike

Check the safety switch for the PTO as well, and there may even be one for the parking brake.

so i should just get the test light out and start from the ignition and keep going? dont they make trolls to do this for ya?

Gotta start simple with this stuff. Are you 100% sure you've got a fully charged battery and the battery terminals/wiring is OK? The dash will light up fine on less than a fully charged battery. Can you jump directly to the starter lugs and get the starter to crank the engine over? Like CCinCT says, there's an interlock that dumps power to the starter if the PTO is engaged. You also need to be in the seat with the P-brake pedal mashed or P-brake lock on to allow power to go to the starter.

would anyone happpen to have or know a place online to get a wiring diagram for this 2150?


as you can tell this is my first cub, i'll admit i was into my john deeres but the more i tinker with this i'm starting to like it. at least there seems to be actual room to work on items

never mind i found 1 and a ton of other diagrams


Cub Cadet Wiring Diagram Index

How do you get the wiring diagrams off that site?

Diesel - go to the link... then scroll left to right. Spaced out quite a bit are 3 columns - the last one being a series of hot links for that particular model's wiring...

ok so far this what i have checked

Battery is at full charge

tested the relays and ignition switch

tested the starter

i can get the starter to spin if i put a screwdriver between the two posts on the solenoid

it wont turn the tractor over just spins, and its a new starter

only switch i couldnt test is the one under the seat, not real sure how to test it.

any more ideas?
