Was mowing everything was just fine then mower just died no power to nothing . Popped the hood and it had a blown 20 amp fuse the only one under the dash. Changed the fuse and tried starting and wont turn over. Heard a click from the starter and noticed every time i tried to start it the starter would click and volt gauge would peg all the way negative. Any suggestions thinking maybe starter ?

Check battery voltage and report back what it is.

If it was running and just quit on you it's not the starter. Post model number from under seat.

Can you turn the engine by hand?

Forgot to mention first time it had blown a fuse i replaced the fuse and it started back up but now just keeps popping fuses and pegging the voltage gauge all the way negative when i crank . Checked the battery has 12 volts and motor turns over . Had to replace the voltage regulater at begining of summer . Any suggestions

Most auto parts stores will test a starter for free. Go have it tested.

that sounds like you developed a serious short to see if comes from the starter disconnect the battery and connect terminal of a jumper cables direct to the starter terminals ?
