when starting my cub
When I try to start my cub sometimes it turns over and sometimes it just makes a sound like EEEERRRRUUUMMMMMMM! It has a new battery and a good ground. The starter was rebuilt about a year ago. Does anyone have any suggestions?

clean and grease all the connections, at the battery terminals, the cable ends and if you have replacement connectors with bolts take them apart and clean and wire bush them to remeove all corrosion. Also clean the connection for the battery ground strap. Grease all connections before you put them back. What size battery and ground cables do you have. I think 2 gauge it about right. You don't say if the battery is fully charged. If your generator is not putting out enough to charge, the battery may be downYou don't say if you have key start or pull rod. Is there water in the battery? Over the plates and almost to the bottom of the filler hole, if it not a perminant battery. Once all these are checked and it still fails at times I would go directly to the starter with a battery jumper cable if it is the selonoide type. Does that cure the problem? If iot is the pull rod type I would remove the switch the rod operates and look it over and check its connnection to the starter. I would use the jumper cable here on the starter terminal and see what happens. [b]Oh make sure the tractor is out of gear when doing these checks. Don't want it to start and run away or run you over.[/b]
If thes fail let us know. This is enough for one time. We will still be here if these first steps don't work.

Hey B.L. You sure it doesn't sound like "WEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUMMMMM" ? Good thing it doesn't end with "KEEEEE PLUNK - BOOONNNGGG!!!"
Seriously, I would go with John's suggestion. Also, it's possible you have a few teeth missing or worn on the ring gear on your flywheel. Next time it just spins, try to move the tractor in gear a little to move the position of the flywheel. Could be a worn bendix gear on the starter, too.
