My apologies. I have not tried any of the suggestions yet. We went to visit family out of town this past weekend to celebrate the 4th of July. Ended up staying a few more days due to a minor family emergency. I should be back home this coming weekend and will start troubleshooting. I really do...

Thank you brother! Much appreciated. I will go over everything again so make sure I did it correctly and not miss anything.

I hear you. I have scamazon prime so I can return anything I purchase at no cost, even shipping is free.

Thank you so much. I will try your suggestions. I really do appreciate it. I was just frustrated. I'm no mechanic but I'm trying to fix my own stuff to save money and hopefully learn something in the process.

I can't get any love around here. No other suggestions?? :(:cry::cry:

Just for fun, I charged it all night. The charger indicated it's good. Turned the ignition on and tried to start it. Same result. I suppose I can take it to an auto parts store and have them test it to be 100% sure. And again, I touched/shorted the starter solenoid and it cranked. The engine...

No verdict. I bought this mower used from an individual. It's several years old so I doubt it's under warranty. Any suggestions??

Bought it! Thanks!

Great suggestion. The battery on our side-by-side also just died yesterday. And that battery is less than 2 years old. That for sure will need a solar/sunlight maintainer since it's parked outside. I'm not sure what one of these look like. I'll have to research it. Do you have a suggestion or a...

I was testing it up and down just to see. I also hear the clicking with PTO switch up. I don't know if that's normal. I know it needs to be down to start it. Maybe it's the safety switch? Any way to bypass it just to test??

I hear the click when I turn the key.

My 54 inch Bad Boy MZ Magnum zero turn riding mower quit on me. It's model BMG5425KO. I turn the key and it just clicks. Battery is good. When I jumped/shorted the starter solenoid, it cranks. I thought it might be a bad starter solenoid, so I replaced it since I had a spare one. Still nothing...

I'll do that. Thanks.

Well, it turned out to be the damn battery. I charged it all day and it started. I was able to cut the grass but when I shut it down and tried to restart it, it barely turned like it was dying so I took it to O'Reilly Auto Parts to get it tested. Sure enough, it's a bad battery. This battery is...

Yeah I will try to charge the battery tomorrow. PTO switch is not on. I made sure. Fuse is not blown. I checked I don't think it's a bad ground but I will triple check it. Could be a faulty safety switch. Is there any way too bypass it just to test?
