Connect the negative jumper cable to the negative battery terminal, touch the positive jumper clamp to the starter power stud. If it spins over there is a wiring issue such as the frame ground.

If it does not spin over, the starter brushes are shot, and you need a starter.

This mower was used just fine to cut half the lawn and then turned off to go get some water. I tried to start it and nothing but a clicking sound. Won't turn over and battery tests at 12.7V. I did the idiot check with arms out, deck disengaged and nothing but a click. Solenoid removed and tested good.

Any ideas?
The first check is to clean the battery terminals og corrosion. Take them off and clean the inside and posts.
