Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Cub cadet 1027 lawn mower will not start, cub cadet 1027, cable ends


Question
I have just purchased a new battery 2 days ago because I was told it was bad and to start the mower I had to jump it. Now Keith the new battery all I hear when I turn the key is a click.

Answer
Did you clean the battery terminals and battery cable ends with a wirebrish or sandpapter before you connected the new battery?  

Do you have a volt meter or DMM?

Did you have the new battery charged and load tested before you brought it home from the store.
