MTD 601 will not start
- Thread starter raymondcg
- Start date
So I jumped the starter to the positive terminal and got the starter to move. The gauges light up now and I turn the key i hear a small noise from behind me, I guess that noise is the solenoid, but nothing else. The gauge disappears and I turn the key off and on, no gauge no more noises. But I can repeat this every time I jump the starter.
Made a video in case I missed anything.

Can not watch the video.
From what you are saying it sounds like a bad or loose wire.
Remove and clean the battery cables and posts. If the cables to battery bolts have the plastic wing nuts replace them with regular nuts.
Battery could also be weak.
Try jump starting it from the car battery.
