Rats ate two wire ends off. Where do the two wires connect for the coil wrapped wires that go from the back of the engine towards the front? The two ends are cut off by the battery.

Maybe this will help, if not please tell us the color codes of the two wires.

Thanks for the wiring diagram Rivets.

The wires are one white and one tan. The tan could be a light brown. They were both in the plastic coil wrap so they must have similar lengths.

That is the wrong diagram. Must be for a different model. I’m unable to locate a diagram for model 74721. Can you take a pic of the chewed wires by the battery? I’ll keep looking.

Here is the correct manual. Diagram is on the last page. White is the magneto kill wire and tan goes to the right hand neutral safety switch. https://manuals.toro.com/133561/index.html?rnd=0.6187310721363987

The first post shows the pic from a link due to file size limits. This link shows the coil wrap stripped. I laid the wires near a black and brown wire socket on another coil. I doubt that they go there as the colors don't match.

After I posted this I saw your two previous posts. Those locations makes sense from how it was acting before it stopped working, thanks! I will post back tomorrow with success hopefully...

See if you can trace where they go using the schematic.

I messed with the brake actuator but the plug of wires at the connection looked ok. Some youtube videos helped me see how to manually disengage the electronic brakes so that I could move the mower.

I found the problem. The two wires cut are just below the left hand steering handle near the switch. The stub is so short that I may have to replace it. Thanks for your multiple replies which helped!

The other end to splice has maybe 2 inches clear so splicing those two ends is doable.

Is there enough there to solder to. I’ve soldered a short splice in first, then attached it to the remaining wire.
