won't start?

Postby weslypype » Sun Aug 24, 2014 8:46 am

Well here's what I get for going and looking at other peoples cubs yesterday. Mine is jealous it had to sit at home all alone.

Plowing today going fine, grab into a couple roots and stall it out. Go to start back up, no go. Possibly battery? I'm hearing a spark when I pull on start rod but nothing from the tractor itself. Sounds like coming from battery. Anyone have any thoughts?

I would clean all the connections if you haven't already.

In addition to cleaning up the battery connections, a little cleaning up of the language wouldn't hurt either. This is a family forum.
