My mower will not start after using it yesterday. I've replaced the blade engage switch, ignition switch, and a relay. Battery, starter and solenoid are good. I've checked all of my safety switches, which are good, (except parking brake, don't think there is one?). This is a 1988 model.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what I should do/try next?
Thank you very much,
Andrew Dumond

1. We dont know what you have. Scaq has more than one mower. Start with model number.
2. What does wont start mean? Wont turn over or will turn over but wont fire up and run?

Thank you, BlazNT Model Scag SSZ, unable to get the number right now, it's a 1988 model year. Won't turn over. I found a second relay. Tested good, but still didn't start. Sprayed with electric clean, it started and ran. Next start, blew a fuse, changed fuse, started and ran. I'm thinking I'll get a new relay, just as a process of elimination. That may do it. I've tried/changed pretty much everything else that I thought/think it could be. Your suggestions are welcome.
Other issue: Changing blades, both side blades shafts do not come out/down to change these two blades. Center blade shaft came down as supposed to. I suppose these shafts are stuck/frozen (rusted) in cylinder/housing. What is best way to free theses up/out?
Thank you very much. This mower is new to me. Previous owner obviously did not maintain well and it's 28 yrs old. Overall, for it's age, it's in pretty good shape (deck, etc.).
