It could be a couple of different things. A couple of things that you can check yourself before having to take it to someone to look at it:

1. Open the hood and try turning the engine by spinning the round "cheese grater" looking part that is attached to the flywheel. - it probably won't turn.

2. Remove the spark plug(s) and try again. (Be careful, if the the cylinder is full of gas/oil it will come out as you spin it by hand.) - DO NOT use the electric start to try and turn it over! This sends spark to the plug wire and could ignite any fuel causing severe burns and/or other serious injuries.

-IF-

You were unable to spin the engine over by hand without the spark plug(s) in it, then you may be dealing with anything from a wedged starter gear to a seized engine. Fuel with ethanol added to it attacks the rubber/neoprene seals in carburetors and often times allows fuel to fill the crankcase and cylinder. If this has happened the above mentioned plan of action will let you know. As always, anytime the fuel mixes with the engine oil, you should change the oil to prevent the engine from locking up under normal operation.

I hope this gives you a little bit direction. =)

    When I go to start the tractor the "cheese grater" turns. The engine sounds like it wants to start, but just won't fire. I've changed spark plugs. They were dirty, but the machine started 3 hours ago. Like I said, I did take the clutch off to get the belt on. Could that have any affect?

Freewheel lever broken

For the wire to come all the way out lever on top of the trans must be broken. I've seen a few. Jack rear of mower up, remove rear right wheel and find remnants of lever. With pliers turn this all the way forward, mower will now go. But to fit new lever trans will have to be removed. Dont forget the axle key.

My Husqvarna riding mower won't start. I was

Check to see if you left the blades engaged. There is a safety switch that prevents starting with blades engaged. Easy to miss, happened to a friend of mine last month.

My husqvarna tractor won't start. It has a new battery but no clicking or anything when I turn the key. If I hook up a portable battery charger and try to start it, I hear a grinding noise but the engine...

have you checked the fuse? there is a 20amp yellow fuse under the hood just below the solenoid same side as the blade engagement switch.also be sure all your lock out switches are working or by passed.
