Cub Cadet CC30 - Won't Start because of Design Flaw

How to Fix!

Today we'll be looking at a 2016 Cub Cadet CC30 Riding Lawnmower that won't start due to a simple design flaw.

We also have a 2019 Columbia CR30 (basically the same machine) that has had the issue fixed by the manufacturer!

Thanks so much! Mine has a bar over the top of the deadswitch to keep the cover down but it STILL had disengaged and I had no idea it was there - at least partly because the bar obscures the switch LOL. Thanks to your video I removed the cover and cleaned the area and my cubbie is purring again!

Merry Christmas and happy new year! Was in town to visit my elderly father for Christmas when he told me about his lawnmower issue. He has the same cup cadet, and I was able to diagnose the problem after watching your video. Huge blessing to be able to get one more thing crossed off the list since Mom passed. Thank you for uploading content that does help in times of need. God bless you and keep you!

Thank you so much for showing me how to repair my cub cadet cc30H. You actually showed me how to repair. Very helpful 5 Stars to you. Thanks Larry

Oh good lord, I never saw that safety switch on the deck. After taking off the mulching cover to clean away grass clippings, I reattached it without the switch being depressed. I spent an hour with my multimeter, etc. Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to post this video. I owe you one!😄

I have this mower and did not get the configuration right after cleaning it. I just happened upon your video when I was looking for a solution to a dead machine. This is exactly what happened. Thank you so much.

YOU ARE THE MAN!! 🔥🔥🔥

I had the very same problem, and when you showed how the safety cover for the blade wasn't seated properly, the mower didn't start. There was so much play between the cover and the safety switch.

 I made the adjustment after watching your video, and it's starting perfectly now.

Thank you!!

Thank you thank you. Thank you. I'm looking at about five hundred different cub cadet troubleshooting videos and I stumbled across you reminding me of a simple fix thanks again.

Oh, shy t, you're in Canada. I just got delivery of my Columbia mower yesterday. HD Canada heavily discounted this model and shipped it out to me ($1095.00 cad) I was told it's discontinued. Now I know why. Thanks again for saving me such grief.

Thank you so much for this video! I have a CC30E (electric version). It's brand new and stopped during the second time is was used. The wing nuts were tight, but the plastic beneath one of the wing nuts was damaged and caused flex that disengaged the switch. This video saved me from a world of hurt.

You were the first video and you nailed it. Ran fine..I stopped to gas it..I must've bumped the deck getting back on just enough to cause that problem. I have also been storing it outside and wasn't using the fitted nylon cover for it. The sun must be playing havic with the plastic. All good things for me to check. Thanks for the info on the fixes. Good job Man!

You are 100% on point. My guard moved. The switch was tucked right under it.

Made my day man!

Thank you, thank you, and thank you. I never would have looked there and you saved me a lot of time and money. It was so covered with dried grass I never would have even looked there!

Turned out my CC30E (Electric), while improved upon this with a metal piece firmly pressing the switch, doesn't help if I'm in the dark and didn't put the catcher back on right, lol. Glad to find this fix, still helped troubleshoot x thanks!

[mikevanderschaaf]

Thank you much! This saved me a ton! I had the same problem and couldn't figure it out.

I worked on my cc30h for hours came in found your video and 2 minutes later it was running. Thank you for sharing this video. I wish I could buy you a beer. Great job.

[capjohnson]

Thank you putting this video out, went through all the electrical checks no know luck getting cc 30 h to start, seen your video and bingo, starter switch was not being depressed just like in your video, saved me some cash, thanks!
