  1. Are you sure you don't the blade engaged, if not you  have bad safety switch.  It should be located in front of arm that engages blade.

    Good Luck


  2. Difficult question.  Did you try the starter while it was off the machine?  I mean give it power to see if it spins?

    Two possibilities that I can think of before you have to head for the repair shop.

    1. Older starters have bendix springs.  When charged by turning the key, the spring forces the drive shaft on the starter to turn and to engage the flywheel.  If it is a bad spring, you can have a good starter and no spin.

    2. Flywheel is so stuck that it won't turn, and thus your starter cannot make it turn.  Only solution I can think of to diagnose this is to pull the tractor while it is in second or third gear, not far, just get it a few feet or rocking back and forth.  If the flywheel is stuck after that you got some real problems.  Finally, if you did the rewiring, are you certain your starter is wired correctly and not trying to reverse itself.  A few starters from older tractors do this.  Basically they are geared to go in one direction though.

    I suspect you are going to have to get a repair shop to look at it.
