[nightmare3z]

Having trouble starting tractor. can hear a clicking noise , sounds lilke the key switch but doesn't spin the starter. One time we rocked the back wheel and then it spun over and started. Later same problem and can't get starter to spin. Help me trouble shoot if ya can . thanks

How long have you had or how old is the Century? Reason I'm asking is if it's new (or new to you), you might be falling prey to one or more safety start lockouts - shuttle in neutral, PTO off, & clutch all the way down. We had trouble realizing that if you don't press the clutch with the ball of your foot, you don't get it all the way down.

Other than something that simple, that's about all I know about Kukje starter systems. Afraid I don't know what the tire rocking means. Good luck!

Check the battery connections first.

Then to what caused the same symptom on my Century.

Check the ground connection from the battery to the frame. This is under the frame and after cleaning same on mine I had no further trouble.

Had same problem. When they come accross to pond the connections get coroded and if you clean them they are ok again.
