Guys.
Talked to Zip about this. Said he was using the tractor, shut it off, and now the starter won't work. All was fine. This really was sudden. So, we can eliminate the mouse nests, broken rods, and failed engines. (As a note, the motor was overhauled only a couple years ago.) It spins fine with the spark plug removed. I had him check the compression release. He says all seems well. At this point, we are leaning toward an electrical problem. I am not convinced that even though the starter was checked, that it's good. He's going to check the timing and make sure that it didn't change and become advanced for some reason, and also do a load check on the wiring up to the starter. Good luck Todd, and let us know!
