    Craftsman tractor won't start
    I have a craftsman tractor from the mid 90's with the kohler 15.5 hp motor. It won't even turn over, I've checked the starter/alternator, and just replaced the ignition switch, the deadman seems to be engaged, brake/clutch were working last time I used it, the blades are in the "dis-engage" position, but still can't get it to turn over. battery has a full charge and when I ran jumper cable from the battery to the starting unit, it turns. So what could be the problem? All wiring seems to be in order

    Solenoid, wiring, fuse, or safety switch.
