gravely riding mower won.t start

[edkaygray]

Was mowing grass with no problems hit a couple of bumps jarring the seat and after 2nd bump the mower died and wouldn't restart. Everything turns freely. Replaced 2 safety switches still won't start. Tried bypassing to jumpstart, tries to crank when key turned but would not start.any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Two independant safey systems.
One earths out the magneto
The other isolates the starter.
You really need to go to the Gravely web site and download the owners manual and look at the circuit diagram.
Print out a copy as big as you can.
Pinch a coloured pencil from the kids/ grandkids and colour in the circuit from the starter solenoid all the way back to the ignition switch.
Armed with you pretty picture, bypass each switch, one at a time till the culprit is found.
A PIA thing to do but this is the only sure fire way to track it down.
You can end up spending hundreds only to find a simple wire 1/2 pulled out of its plug.
