    I should have asked this IMPORTANT question first "IS it turning over and not starting" or no nothing. If it turns over and tries, yes, its one or more safety switches, and can be tracked, bypassed and then repaired. A million different easy things, You should be able to run through...
    Pretty fair looking mower, and the bagging system is great.
    Also, look up the free repair and Operator manual, it should have belt sizes.
    Keep us in the loop.
    Theres no click or anything.

    I went to check the solenoid but it is in a spot that is super hard to get my big Squatch hands into. Must be made for little Chinese fellas.

    Thanks for the info.

    Tractor supply near you? Go get a new cub cadet with 36" deck. It has a real nice cut.

    Sasq my boy,

    My Son#2 bought a SCAG Zero Turn Mower last fall and is pretty darn pleased with it. I noticed they have some specials going on now. Life is too short to phuck around with equipment that doesn't work. Cut your losses on the old mower and upgrade. You'll thank yourself this summer!

    WAIT, how much grass are you cutting, should have been the first question.
    Second, is the battery completely charged.
    Third, Grounds are shitty on lawn mowers, scratch the paint and get a good ground.
    Fourth Fuses,
    Jump starter on solenoid.
    I will take it off your hands, and give you 50 bucks, if you want. Then you can pull a slippy and buy a new one.

    It was brought up before but the best way to bypass the seat pressure switch is cut the wires below the seat and twist them together if the switch is bad that will get around it
