Repairs Craftsman mower just clicks and whines

[Ixeye]

My craftsman ridng lawn mower was working great but then it got stuck in a hole so pushed it out while running to use reverse gear at the same time. It reversed fine and then the motor just died. Now it will not start and just clicks and then gives a little wheezing noise. Tested the battery and came back as bad so bought another one. Still just clicks and wheezes. What is the fix for this?

check to see if all connections are clean and tight sounds like a bad ground

check starter gear?

Try and turn the motor over by hand, see if it turns over and how easy it is
