    John Deere L111
    My L111 jammed up on the wife's bird netting and stalled. When I unjammed the material the mower would not start even by jump start. I have replaced the solenoid, ignition switch and battery still no start. It will start by jumping from battery to solenoid. Fuse is OK, are there any protection switches that need resetting or what else may I check

    Hi,
    Check beneath the right side rear wheel well along the frame to see if the netting broke a wire in the rear wiring harness.
    Peace,

    Clarke,

    No there are no wires broken back there. The netting was caught up with the blades and jammed it against the blade cover-cowling, then the motor stalled and I was not able to re-start it by the key or jump-start. I later started it up by shorting across the battery and solenoid just to finish the mowing. Got me beat

    There aren't many electrical parts left that you haven't already replaced. I would guess this is an issue with the seat safety switch or if its on this model, the reverse safety switch. You can bypass either to identify one as the cause.

    Thank you guys for the suggestions. Checked again and found the LH plastic pulley ( largest one) attached to the park brake setting had worn to a flat edge, and would not allow the neutral switch to engage. Replaced the pulley and all is well Thank you all once again
