Here are a few things you can check:
I put the positive cable on negative terminal and put the negative on the positive by mistake. I reversed the cables and now they are on the right way. It will not start. What do I do next?

This can short out the starter or the solenoids on the mower. You'll need to take a volt meter and test your cables to make sure you are getting a good charge or reading to the starter and solenoids on the mower.
It happened to me and I simply replaced the 20 amp fuse that blew during the mishap. Took me a minute to find it, but it was no problem once I knew where to look. Its north of the switch!
My Cub Cadet that's not a year old yet will not start. We replaced the battery and fuse. Is there a step by step video on how to repair this Cub Cadet LT46 riding lawn mower?
If it is less than a year old it should still be under warranty. I would let the manufacturer fix it
My new Cub Cadet XT1 with new gas won't start.
Help.
If it is new, the store should be notified. You can void the warranty if you attempt to fix it yourself.
My small engine is a 640 Honda engine on my Club Cadet Zero Turn. It was working great then got caught in a thunder storm.
It will not turn over; it just clicks. Will it dry out or will it need to be serviced?Your gas probably got contaminated. You will have to drain out the old gas and get new gas.
I have a 2018 Club Cadet with 5 hours of riding time that will not start. It will turn over. but won't start. I changed the spark plug, cleaned the air filter, and charged the battery.
I do smell gas when attempting to start it.It sounds like a new lawn mower. I would think you have a year warranty at the very least. Contact the manufacturer.
I replaced the starter solenoid and still get the clicking sound. The volt meter shows low voltage on the low voltage side. Anyone know the cause of this?

My Cub Cadet, single cylinder B&S will turn over when the plug is pulled, but dead heads when plug is installed. Any ideas?

I have a 1989 Cub Cadet riding lawnmower. I just replaced the condenser and coil and it burned out after 10 minutes. What would cause this?

I have a commercial Cub Cadet recon Zero Turn and it won't start. When I turn the ignition it won't click, a few days ago it ran just fine then all of a sudden it won't even click. I've checked the plugs and battery and they are OK. Please give me some guidance.

The starter cord is locked on my Cub Cadet with Briggs & Stratton engine. I got one season of good mowing.
