Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): problem with a craftsman LT1000 latn tractor, craftsman lt1000, ground connections
Questioni have a craftsman LT 1000 lawn tractor and when i have a new battery in it but when i turn the key all i hear is a little click but that's all, can you help me?
AnswerA clicking solenoid is often associated with dirty/corroded connections or a weak battery. Was the battery fully charged before you installed it? Did you clean the battery terminals and cable ends with a wirebrush before you connected it? Did you dis-connect and clean the ground connections with a wire brush?
Finally, did you check the starter gear to see if it binding?
Let me know what you find.
