Help!!!!!

Well I got the brake working now it will not turn over. Found a loose battery connection but decided to charge it again before worrying to much. If that does not fix it first thing is the seat switch.

Man this mower is keeping you busy! If it makes you feel any better most everything I have is like that. It's always something.

Same here. It is always something.

Let a knowledgeable person look at it.

I did, and I fixed it too.

Seriously I am not a small engine mechanic by any means, and I can not lift and bend like I use to, but I am not helpless either. I got it running just in time for the rain to move in.

What was the problem?

What was the problem?

Loose nut between seat and steering wheel.

Sorry, but that gave me an out loud chuckle!! And yes, I've been in that exact same position! ^^^

What was the problem?

I found a bad connection in the wiring hardness and the battery was bad too. I have found a few of those little snap together connects bad thru the years but seldom on something this new. I will say I am NEVER worried about the fuse working loose. That sucker is in there! I was also surprised the battery had gone bad so fast.

I keep a battery tender on most of my equipment when parked. Saves a ton of headache. When I work up the energy to do something with it I don’t want to have it not start.

If only someone had suggested we not buy a mower from a box store.

You just need more thoughtful benefactors.
