When i turn the key on my Husky LTH1342B there is a click, but no turn over attempt. The battery, spark plug and ignition switch and seat safety switch seem fine. The engine starts and runs when i jump start from battery positive post to the positive nut on starter, and also runs from the smaller nut on solenoid. But when i release the brake, it stalls out.
[I did remove the attachement / blade switch as i no longer use the tractor for mowing. I joined the two blue wires together, and then i taped the two white wires and the green separately / individually. I did not connect the green to anything. Does this sound right?]
What might the next step be in this detective story?

I believe most people would need to see a wiring diagram unless they are familiar with this particular model.
Probably has to do with safety switch issues since you removed one.
Following the pointers to the problem being in the wiring of the Attachment/ blade on/ off switch, which i had removed,
I joined the blue and white wire with the green, and then with another wire nut i joined up the other blue and white wire.
It worked. I turn the key and it starts up and runs! Feels good.
