Oil drain location on cub cadet rt65
How old is it? Lots of newer small engines don't have a drain plug. You tilt it on its side and let the oil run out the oil filler hole after removing the dip stick. I put a piece of plastic shopping bag over the gas tank hole and put gas cap back on to help keep gas from coming out. Good luck.
Pro z 148l EFI 2016 model cub cadet zero turn want turn over nothing happens when key is turned to start is there any other safety switch besides the lap bars and pto
ZTRs requires the following safeties for engine crank.
Park Brake ON
PTO OFF
Steering arms OUT
Operator in seat (this unit requires, not all)
If still no crank cycle all the safeties.
Arms IN/OUT
PTO ON/OFF
Park Brake ON/OFF
Rise from seat then firmly drop into seat.
Start
If still no crank, turn and hold start key in start position. Then with other hand twist the PTO switch knob in alternate directions (maintain off position). If engine cranks then PTO switch likely needs replaced.
If still no crank, set parking brake and jump starter solenoid to battery. If no crank, then starter or solenoid problem.
Else, you'll need to trace starter circuit. Begin at the key switch and check for battery voltage at the "S" pole (while key in start position). Then follow wiring through all the safety switches.
My Cub Cadet LTX1046KW was running just fine had to turn it off for 20 seconds to move a obstacle out of the way and now it just turns over won't start
Take the spark plug out but leave the spark plug wire hooked up to the spark plug. lay the spark plug on the top of the engine cylinder, turn the key and try to start the engine. See if spark plug has a spark on it, If no spark make sure ground wire from engine to frame is there. if it does spark you probably have a fuel problem, maybe there's A vapor lock in the fuel line or maybe your fuel Pump just quit at that moment. with the engine running it may have been able to suck enough gas up to keep it running but once you turned the engine off the gas siphoned back to the gas tank and now cannot suck enough gas up to start the engine. try spraying a little engine starter fluid into the carburetor see if it tries to start maybe you have a fuel line that is bad or has a hole in it, check that if it has a hole it will be sucking air could be many different things.
Good luck
