Sounds like you answered your own question, if the battery was dead there is a good chance that is the reason it wouldn't start. Now you need to figure out if your battery is bad or if your alternator is not charging the battery. Have the battery charged and tested. If it tests good, put it back in the car and see if it starts. If it does, check and see if the alternator is charging the battery with the car running......you should have between 12.5 and 14 volts at the battery with the car running. If you do not have this I would change your alternator.

You'll need to check all the safety switches. Probably one in the seat, one for the mower engaged, one for clutch/parking brake engaged, possibly one for reverse gear selected, and possibly for position of the steering arms.
I'm not a car mechanic, but, it sounds like you might want to check the fuse to the ignition switch, and, if that fails, it might be a problem with the Start Safety Switch on the transmission. Good luck.
yea it sounds like your starter the trick is to beat your starter a couple of times get a broom handle or something like a stick and hit your start a couple of times if it starts right up then your starter is gone and you have to get a new one beacuse the second you turn the car off its off for good till you get the new starter
Make sure battery has a full charge.
Try cycling the ignition switch on and off several times before you crank it, to see if it helps. If it helps, check your fuel system. My info says fuel pressure, 35--45 psi.
How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes?
Sorry. Could also be a cracked head or block. Take the spark plugs out and see if they are wet. Charge battery and turn engine over with the coil grounded and the sparkplugs out. If water flyes out of any cylinder,you may have to disassemble the engine.
