[smitchell]

does anyone know what model this is

 

[mgonitzke]

It's a 2000 series, but without any more info or a picture that's bigger than and inch and a half across, that's all that can be said at this point

Steve- Would help if you posted a couple more pics, and larger. Side and front shot.

It would be helpful to have more pictures. But, for $150, you can't go wrong - even if it needs an engine.

Steve did you check out all the possible safety switches? Position of the brake clutch, or is power take off engaged ,or for corrosion on all connections.
Ground is very important and sometimes over looked at on the frame side.

i hooked the batt up an the oil light comes on an it just clicks i dont know much about the newer stuff i got it for 100 bucks so i couldnt pass it up

 

[smitchell]

any ideas on what it is

Steve,
Well first I don't know if you are sitting on the tractor when trying to start, if you are.

Is power take off disengaged ?


Is the brake peddle pressed far enough to employ that safety mechanism?

some tractors will not attempt to start if not seated, or a weight is on seat.

I'm starting with the simplest things, hope others chime in

Your solenoid is up on the starter on the 2185. Check the connections and listen there for the "click". Good grounds, might be corroded or wore. If not, then check back at the key switch for loose or burnt stuff. Those Commands are great motors and will drop into many older Cub Cadets.
