How old is the battery? When you get it started put a digital volt meter across the battery terminals and with the throttle about 1/2 open check the voltage. If should be over 13 volts DC if your charging system is working ok. If it is over 13 volts your battery has probably just given up. Lawn mower batteries are only good for 2-3 years. A trickle charger can extend the life if used.

I hope this helps.

John Deer 6410 Tractor wont start,no dash lights,engine runs with jump start but wont drive

Please elaborate "jump start".

I'd begin by checking battery voltage first, then fuses, and ignition switch for power.

Why murray riding mower wont crank when being jumped off

Some mowers have safety switches that unless you are sitting on the seat and the clutch pushed in they will not start. Not sure if this is the answer.

My lawn tractor will not start unless I jump the solenoid with a screw driver ? Then it will stay running ...

Sounds like the ignition start switch is defective and making poor contact. or the harness to it is loose or has corrosion.

Rider 155 wont start unless you cross starter solenoid

On my Ariens, had the same issue, where, with a new battery, mower would not start, unless I jumped across the solenoid. Figured the switch was fine, because it would only start if turned on, and would power off when I turned it off. Had no idea there was a 20amp fuse in the mix. Thanks to Tim Whalen for his response from years ago. Replaced the fuse, dangling in a harness near the solenoid, and it started right up. So much better if it's something simple, even it was still a pain.
