when I go to start my cub tractor all I get is a clicking sound. Ive replaced the silenoid but it still only clicks. Ive cleaned the battery terminals and cables also - Someone told me it could be the starter?

Anyone have any answers/solutions

Check the electrolyte in each battery cell with a hydrometer. A fully charged battery should read
around 1275 in each cell. If one cell reads 1100 or 1150 you should replace the battery.

If your battery is ok I would pull that starter
and have it checked at your local alternator, generator or starter repair shop. Can you turn the engine over by hand? If you do not have a hydrometer take the battery and have it checked. Hal

Starter, or battery. If it won't even turn over, it's not an ignition problem.

Either the starter is shot/jammed, or the battery is dead. Have you tried to jump it from your car?
