Grandson's troy buit bronco with kohler courage 20 engine (sv600s) died after he had taken a short break...... would not crank nor make a sound when he tried to re-start it,,,,, battery checked at 12.4 volts (lites are working). When he hooked jumper cables to starter it cranked as usual, then nothing when removing cables... I'm thinking selenoid (even though it made no "clicking" sounds).... Any advice,,directions greatly needed!!! THANKS

Seeing it turns over with the jumper cables I would make a guess of dirty or bad battery cables.

Do you have 12v at the small wire on the solenoid. If yes then most likely solenoid problem, if you have the three post solenoid. If no then most likely a safety switch problem. Which could include the pto switch if it has electric clutch.
