Thanks so much for the replies, I appreciate them. I will slide the deck out when I can get to it. For now, I’ve attached a couple of video clips that may help. As you can see, when I disengage the PTO the belt does start moving at about the correct speed. But you’ll notice that it progressively...

Slightly long post, my apologies. As the title says, I have a 1995 Simplicity Regent 1692403, and the deck belt will not move fast enough. I think the problem may be the idler pulley. I had to replace the belt the other day, and the new one was ripped to shreds in just minutes, So I replaced it...

So here's where I am as of today. There are TWO small wires going to my solenoid (it has a total of four posts) so I tested both and neither shows voltage when the key is turned to start. I've also found that the negative black cable seems to have an issue. I have tested it for continuity and...

Here’s where I am as of today-I’ve replaced the solenoid, circuit breaker, and ignition switch and none of these have solved the problem. The only way I can get the mower to start, I’ve discovered, is by connecting a jump cable from the battery to the starter. It will start if I do that. What...

I have not been able to locate a fuse. I did locate the solenoid and a circuit breaker under the seat by the battery, but no fuse. I’ve ordered replacements for those, since they are fairly inexpensive. And like StarTech I have not been able to locate a wiring schematic for my mower.

I just replaced it so I think it’s very likely to have anything to do with the battery. Testing it was more of a formality, not because I have any real cause to believe it is the problem.

No, PTO is disengaged. I’ve tested the battery to be sure, and it is producing over 12v of power. Also tested to see if the starter solenoid is getting power from the battery, and it is. Again, the multimeter registered over 12v on the positive line.

I have a 1995 Simplicity Regent 12HP Hydro. I was mowing yesterday and got stuck trying to go over a small hill on my property. Couldn’t get free, so I shut it off and was able to manually free it and move it back off the hill. Got back on and when I tried to start it, nothing happened. No...
