Cub Cadet 1018 mower blades will not engage when PTO switch is pulled to ON but I can hear the solenoid What is up?

I had the very same thing happen to me last season. I tended up being a frozen spindle. Apparently I had not greased that spindle which caused the freeze up. I would get a grease gun and try lubricating each of the mower blade spindles now. It may free them up. Also, give the under area of the deck a good cleaning. Good luck.

How do you engage the mower for a John Deere stx38?
The STX-38 should have an electric clutch for the mower deck. The switch to engage it is on the right rear fender. It is a toggle switch. You will have to pull up on the switch and forward to engage the blades.
How do you get power to the starter?
The positive battery cable connects directly to the starter. Depending on what type of vehicle it is, the solenoid is either on the starter or on the inner fender. Power for the solenoid comes from the ignition switch. You can run a wire to the solenoid to cause the starter to engage.
How do you engage the cutting blade on a john deere 165 hydro riding mower?
There's a yellow switch in the upper right hand portion of the dash. It's the PTO drive. Engage your clutch, pull up on the switch and move it forward, and that should start the blades spinning. If it fails to engage, it could be a bad switch or a bad battery.
Izuzu Rodeo Starter Problem.No solenoid click.Battery ok.Starter relay swapped.Starter will spin when jumped to battery but does not engage without solenoid action.Might be ignition or neutral switch?
It is a neutral switch.Starters on newer Isuzu will have a safety-switch installed, even for manual transmissions. The switch, inside the transmission or clutch, will disable the starter circuit until the vehicle is in the proper "mode" to engage the starter.For automatics, this means the starter won't engage unless the transmission is in Park or Neutral.For manuals, (stick-shifts) this means you must engage the clutch while turning the key. Until you engage the clutch, it will seem like the starter is dead.You can have a look at the related link for some trouble shooting pointers.The safety-switch(called a Mode switch for AT) is on the side of the transmission and the clutch switch is on a bracket in front of the clutch pedal. It is activated (switches on) once the clutch pedal is depressed.
