Good Evening,
I have a Craftsman Lawn Tractor 20.5 Twin Turbo, I was given this tractor for free. I was informed it was well maintained but the owner had gotten sick and the tractor was left outside for a few years. I'm a Diesel Technician and have extensive knowledge of electrical and mechanical, I will admit small engine repair is not my specialty. I installed a new battery in the tractor and attempted to start it but the starter solenoid just hummed. I began to troubleshoot the issue and checked all wires to battery and starter I also checked the wiring to the 4 post solenoid, I even replaced the solenoid now I get the starter to spin but will not engage the fly wheel. Inspected the Bendix and gear assembly all checks out. What am I missing?
