Put a new battery in my 2005 model 615 yardman riding mower (50 inch deck) and evidently had not fully secured the battery strap. Heard a loud pop in the rear (battery area) and immediately died. I'm guessing I either blew a fuse or fouled a spark plug. I'm new to doing my own maintenance on this stuff and have only had the mower for 2 yrs. I downloaded the manual and the only reference to fuses is to confirm the mower won't run if you blow one and that there are 2 fuses- one up front behind the steering wheel/control panel and the other in the rear by the battery tray. I've removed the only thing with a fuse terminal end and the little box it was attached to but it lloks like something you can't open and I don't see anything else to remove to locate the fuse. Can you offer any suggestions? I'm a 55 yr old woman and don't have the body strength to turn the mower over or anything like that. Thanks
