Had the same issue with my PZT 60 ($8500 mower). Turns out it's the damn blade switch. We R&R'd the ignition switch & it still wouldn't turnover. The Tech guy pushed & pulled the blade switch & it cranked. He reluctantly shared about that problem. Should be a recall...Had the same issue with my PZT 60 ($8500 mower).

Well remove starter and bench check it, ?? if the engine turns by hand, And the starter is clicking, Mount it in a vise and add 12 volts to it and see if starter spins..
The only thing left is bad connection between power and ground cables.?Well remove starter and bench check it, ?? if the engine turns by hand, And the starter is clicking, Mount it in a vise and add 12 volts to it and see if starter spins..

So the engine wont turn over at all? Well, we know the fuse is good since the fuel solonoid is getting power. Do you have a test light? Locate the starter solonoid, check for power to the small spade on the starter solonoid when the key is turned to the start position. Be sure the brake pedal is depressed, the pto is disengaged, and that the seat switch is depressed.
If you have power to the small spade then check the large posts for power. The battery side should have power all the time and the starter side should have power when key is turned to start. If you have power from battery and power from key switch but no power to starter then the starter solonoid is suspect.
If solonoid tests good and power is getting to starter but starter doesnt engage then starter is suspect.
If no power to small spade on starter solonoid then you will have to do some back tracking. It could be the key switch, one or more of 3 safety switches or bad wire/ bad connections
The fuse is located just off the solenoid on the side the battery cable is hooked to. The solenoid is under the dash on the right hand side about 3 or 4 inched from the bottom
I have a Husqvarna YTH2348 that clicks when i try to start... I had the battery tested and changed the solenoid and still won't start. How do I check the starter????
If you have a pair of jumper cables, connect one of the red clamps to the battery positive, then using the remaining clamp, touch the post on the starter and see if the starter turns over the engine.
Make sure the key is turned off and the transmission is in neutral.
Let me know if it turns over and we can go from there.
Regards,
Usually if all you hear is a clicking noise, it is the solenoid itself that has gone bad...if you can jump the solenoid and the mower turns over, it is the solenoid.
