1. Transmission Problem: The transmission is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels. If there is a problem with the transmission, such as a broken gear or a faulty clutch, it can prevent the mower from moving.
2. Drive Belt Issue: The drive belt is another component that plays a crucial role in transmitting power from the engine to the transmission. If the drive belt is broken, loose, or damaged, it can cause the mower to lose power and not move.
3. Brake Issue: The brakes on the Cub Cadet LT 1045 series 1000 are designed to stop the mower when the brake pedal is pressed. If the brakes are engaged, it can prevent the mower from moving forward or backward. Make sure the brake pedal is fully disengaged.
4. Mechanical Linkage Problem: The pedal is connected to the transmission through a series of linkages. If any of these linkages are disconnected, loose, or damaged, it can affect the mower's movement.
5. Electrical Problem: Some Cub Cadet LT 1045 series 1000 models have an electric clutch that engages the transmission. If there is a problem with the electrical system, such as a faulty switch or a damaged wire, it can prevent the clutch from engaging and causing the mower not to move.
To troubleshoot the issue, you can start by checking the drive belt and the transmission for any visible damage or issues. If the problem persists, it is recommended to consult the owner's manual or seek assistance from a qualified technician who can diagnose and fix the problem accurately.
