If your Cub Cadet 1042 won't start, first check the battery to ensure it's fully charged and the terminals are clean and tight. Inspect the fuel system for any clogs or stale fuel, and make sure there’s enough fresh gasoline in the tank. Additionally, examine the spark plug for wear or damage, as a faulty spark plug can prevent the engine from starting. If these steps don't resolve the issue, consult the owner's manual for more specific troubleshooting steps.
You can replace the transmission belt, on a Cub Cadet 1042, by loosening the tensioner pulley. Once the tensioner pulley is loose the belt will easily come off.
