:confused: My Yard Machine 12.5 HP tractor always started without a problem. In fact, it has a new battery and a new starter. I put it on my truck and moved it to a new location and now it won't start or turn over! Any suggestions. Also, the owner's manual says I should check the fuse. Trouble is I can't find the darned thing. Any ideas on where it might be located would be appreciated. Thanks for your help!

Look under the steering wheel housing towards the rear of the unit. This is where you will find the fuse.

Well Was The Fuse The Problem??

If it was not the fuse I'd start checking the safety switches. Make sure something did not move while being transproted like the blade engagement handle. All of these things can cause a dead tractor.

Unfortunately, no! In the meantime, the grass gets higher and higher. Thanks for caring!

I forgot to mention before that one of the cutting blades is swinging free since we moved the darned thing and the other blade seems fine. I will try your suggestion about checking the engagement handle. Thanks!
