Hi all.
I've got an old Cub Cadet 2165 with the Vanguard 16 (model: 303447 / type: 1147-A1) that won't start.
I put a new battery in it 5 weeks ago and all was fine. Yesterday it wouldn't start so I brought the battery back to AutoZone to get tested. They said it looked okay, but needed a charge. I put my Battery Tender on overnight and it says it's fully charged.
I just tried starting it so I could check the stator and voltage regulator but all I get is the loud click from the solenoid. With the key on, the PTO clutch engages too.
What's my next step? Should I try jumping it to see if it really is my battery? It's a cheapest Duralast I could get.
Thanks!
