You my friend are an absolute champion. I just brought one not running. This is the 1st vid I've watched and you hit it out of the park. Great job mate
Just got a yard machine in near perfect condition but wouldn't start so they bought a brand new mower. I got the old for free and it starter right up with a washer in that spot. Good deal! Thanks sir!
Great Video! Follow up Question. My mower has had same issue and I would always still be able to start it by pulling back hard on the Lever at the same time I turned the key (a little tricky but doable). Now that won't work anymore so wondering where the otherlikely worn or corroded areas are that are keeping it from turning over? (Battery is fine and solenoid is fine)
Thankyou very much had me puzzled this did the mower would start when on the axel stands and when i took it off it wouldnt i thought it was stuck in gear
Great fix , the weld patch is also harder than the bracket steel so it will ware better than the original steel. The materials keep getting cheaper with the newer models .
I bumped into my light post and now my mtd yard machine won’t go into high gear or reverse. Feels jammed or something. It goes into mow gear fine. Any suggestions?? Thanks !
What if everything tests fine and still dead? I've checked the ignition switch, the solenoid is new. Battery turns over when I jump the solonoid.... nothing making sense. All switches tested fine and when sitting I get full continuity through the circuit....
Hey I have the same mower and some times it clicks sometimes it does nothing I just got it and I did try the first thing you should us but still not working does it have to be in nuetral
My ignition is bad I know now cause I was trying to start it but the silonoid and it wouldn't the battery cables where a little dirt so I cleaned them and it started now I just got to get a ignition thanks for responding have a good night
I have a yard machine 42" 20hp twin . I installed a New battery new solinoid new fresh gas new starter and all I hear is a click on the solinoid. I also put a New ignition switch. Why won't my lawn mower tractors won't start. With all this New parts. Any ideas?
Sir I’m about to look at a yard machine riding lawnmower that looks very clean he want $500 for it. I have never had a riding mower in 66 years always push. Getting up in age. What should I look at on it today. Thanks.
After I saw this video I ran down to my mower to test this as I’ve been looking for a fix for 4 months now , unfortunately my mtd mower doesn’t have its deck and the stick gets pulled back not forward , also I tried to hold it in place while starting and still all that happened was a few clicks at most , anyone know what to do (in 15 I don’t know what I’m doing so I don’t have a lot of resources to use )
This is not my problem. Won't even click. I did everything I do every year, new oil, gas, spark plug, lubricate parts and pieces, check blade and it started right up, mowed my 1/4 acre, hosed under neath to clean out as always, let it dry and put in the barn. This was just five days ago. Now not even a click??? Solenoid, starter, ignition?????? Help!

Thanks for the easy solution for my old Yard Machine. It was the deck lever! Saved my the time and worry of tearing into the wiring.

Nice short video with an excellent tip that should save many older MTD owners service repair costs by being able to repair it themselves.

Good catch, looks like a few ways it could of got fixed, looks like a $100 charge right there LOL, never seen that type setup.

What would cause the rear tires to lock and move opposite direction
The differential is what rotates them opposite directions when it's raised off the ground.
@@EliminatorPerformance It was locked and going opposite direction when on the ground. Won't start. Bought new battery. Worked fine when it was parked
thank you!
