First make sure your battery is fully charged. The charger on lawn tractors will not keep the battery fully charged as they just produce a light charge. Check battery before the starter but if battery is fully charged then it's possible the starter could be bad.
A whinning noise is usually from the starter spinning but not engaging with the flywheel. The solenoid or bendix gear may not be working which would require a replacement starter. If you heard a grinding noise, I would say some teeth are missing from the flywheel.
The grinding noise is the starter hitting the fly wheel. This means that the starter is spinning but may not be engaging all the way. Your Flywheel is probably missing a few teeth now. I recommend replacing starter and flywheel. If you're on a tight budget then you could just replace the starter but it will cost you more in the long run.
You can go to Toro.com and look at the lower left side for "Homeowner" or "commercial" parts. If you enter your model number you can get an owners manual online. I tried your LX425, but didn't come up. Maybe a different number?
