  Your Cub Cadet Tiller might not start due to several reasons: * The fuel tank could be empty or contain stale fuel; in this case, fill the tank with clean, fresh gasoline. * The throttle control lever might not be in the correct starting position; if so, move the throttle lever to the start position. * There might be a blocked fuel line that needs cleaning. * The choke might not be in the ON position; switch it to the ON position. * The spark plug wire could be disconnected; connect the wire to the spark plug. * The spark plug could be faulty; clean, adjust the gap, or replace it.

What to do if the wheels on my Cub Cadet FT24 do not engage?

  Steven DixonAug 14, 2025
  If the wheels on your Cub Cadet Tiller aren't engaging, it could be due to a few reasons. A clevis pin might be missing, in which case you should replace it. Alternatively, the tiller might not be shifting properly; refer to the Controls & Features Section for the correct shifting procedures. It's also possible that the control cable isn't adjusted properly, so try adjusting it. Finally, a worn or stretched belt could be the culprit, requiring a replacement.

How to prevent my Cub Cadet FT24 tines from skipping over the ground?

  Tines skip over the ground because of improper rotation. Forward rotation should only be used on soil that has already been tilled, not on virgin soil.
