Craftsman 17.5 hp 42 in. Deck Lawn Tractor - CA Model - Page 7 Questions & Answers
My craftsman LT 1000 wouldn't start, it's silent. I changed my battery - still the same.
are you saying you get no click when turning the key? the starter solenoid should make a clicking sound atleast...sounds more like a safety switch. either located under the seat or on the clutch /brake pedal is not allowing the circuit to be complete so you can start the machine. if the blades are engaged it won't start/ if brake is not depressed it won't start/ if your not sitting in the seat it won't start...each one of these areas have a microswitch that can stop it from starting when turning the key. under the seat its usually a large round button you can depress several times then try again...disconnect and reconnect all the microswitches and look for corrosion on the electrical connections when you do. I hope this helps you
Does a bad battery cause my tractor to not turn over?
Yes. Verify it is the battery by jumping mower off with car battery. If turns over, replace battery. If cannot turnover by jumping, try bypassing start solenoid by tapping positive cable to battery post on starter. Starter should turn. If starter doesn't turn, have starter tested.
Where is the fuse?
dont know, but if you start at the positive battery terminal and just follow the wire, you will bump into one fairly quickly
Murrays
I need model number off your riding mower to answer that.
