Don't think me insane. I was just trying to save some money by DIY. When I started, my John Deere D100 was working perfectly. No issues at all. I needed to change the blades. So, I tipped it over on it's side and secured it so it wouldn't fall back. I changed the blades then gently lowered it back to the ground. Now, it won't crank. Won't even turn over. All it does is click when I turn the key. What have I done? Obviously something. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Check all your cables to battery and ground. Check battery voltage.

Ride ons hate being tipped over.
And open cell batteries like it even less.
Oil and fuel end up getting everywhere where they should not be and battery acid draining out.
Start by removing the spark pug and turning the engine over by hand
