I have an older Gravely ZT1640. I use it on an old practice baseball field I take care of. I was mowing the other day, and it died, stopped in its tracks. Had no power at all when I turned the key. I found a blown 30 fuse when I lifted the seat. It was one of the fuses connected from the ignition to the battery, solenoid, and starter. I replaced the fuse, and it at least got power. Now it would just click and had high pitch whistle when I turned the key. Battery is fully charged. The starter was very hot to the touch. I didn’t have any tools to see if I could move the flywheel, or test the solenoid or starter. I was thinking if it was the starter, it wouldn’t abruptly die unless it tripped that fuse right? How can I tell if it is a bad solenoid, starter, or if the motor seized all together? Thanks.
