In Reply to: STX38 yellow deck won't start posted by Tony on Saturday, April 24, 2004:
The battery was purchased when the mower wouldn't start last year :-P
However, over the winter the key was left in the 'on' position which drained it as flat as possible. It seems to be holding a charge however.
I'm actually kind of confused regarding the difference between tractor and car batteries. How do I know that the car battery won't damage the mower?
I will also try explicitly connecting the starter case to the negative battery terminal to see if maybe a ground wire is hosed.
