    Lawn Tractor will not start
    I have a Troy Bilt Pony Lawn Mower that I have had about a year. It won't start. It will not turn over or make a sound. The battery is charged. The seat switch appears to be working properly. The mower is not engaged. It is not in reverse. I checked the fuse and it is OK. What else could it be?

    Sounds like the connection to the starter is bad (corroded/loose) - or - one of the safety switches has not been tripped properly. e.g. My machine had a poorly aligned safety switch for the PTO lever... so it didn't get tripped and machine thought mower blades were engaged (non-start scenario) machine would not start because of this and all I had to do was re-align that switch so it would trip when PTO lever was in "up" position... and all was good again.
    Hope this works for you.

Lawn Tractor won't start [ 1 Answers ]

When I try to start my lawn tractor it won't turn over. It makes a noise from the engine that sounds like when you try to start a car and it's already running. I have recently changed the spark plugs, battery, air filter, etc. It ran fine after that and just stopped and wouldn't start again.
