Brand new battery placed in as well as a a new PTO cable. There does not appear to be any fuses anywhere, The mower just makes one click when trying to start it. I was thinking possibly bad starter or ignition coil. Not sure if it even has them, but there is a rather large round cylinder which one of the assembly of wires leads to from the key (ignition) which is attached to the right side of the engine. When I touched it where the wire is bolted on after trying to start the mower, it felt warm. Not sure what else to check. The seat safety switch is fused in the contact position. Is there some

Best riding mower overall
The Troy-Bilt Super Bronco XP riding mower is an excellent choice for a variety of lawns. It`s built with a 24HP Kohler engine and a 54-inch cutting deck to let you handle inclines and rough terrain or haul tools, mulch, and potting soil around your property.
If the engine will not crank, you likely have a problem with… Discharged / defective battery or faulty electrical connections. To address these issues, check the battery and charging system for problems. Faulty parts: potentially the safety interlocks, starter motor switch (open circuit) or solenoid.
Your Mower Won`t Start:
Other possible causes include: Loose, Dirty or Disconnected Spark Plug in Your Lawn Mower: Check it out, clean off debris, re-connect and tighten. Dirty Air Filter: Clean or replace. Fuel Not Reaching the Engine: Tap the side of the carburetor to help the flow of gas.
Most riding mowers rely on lead acid batteries, although some use lithium-ion or lithium iron phosphate batteries.
Troy-Bilt® is headquartered in Valley City, Ohio, and our reliable equipment includes select products that are designed, built and tested right here in the U.S. – from Ohio and Mississippi to Tennessee and Arizona.

If your lawn mower turns over (or cranks) but won`t start, it could result from an issue with one of the components of the fuel system or bad gas. You should inspect the fuel filter for clogs or damage and check the fuel line for kinks, cracks, or leaks.
Check/clean/tighten all connections on battery/solenoid/starter/Ignition switch and neg(-) cable to frame or motor. Check to ensure all safety features are working properly and not engaged. Check for an inline fuse, bypass solenoid to see if engine cranks if it does replace solenoid, if no crank replace starter.
Touch the metal shaft of a screwdriver to both of the large terminals at the same time. If the engine turns over and starts, the solenoid is bad and should be replaced. If the starter motor does not run, the motor itself is probably defective.

Battery?, wiring?? Had a recent problem with blades not engaging. I have had also had a slightly older issue of battery not holding charge so i have to boost or jump start mower. I went out and bought brand new battery and after one usage it would not hold charge and blades will still not engage. Would the issue related to the battery effect the engagement of the blades???
ANSWER : If your Alternator didn’t charging the battery, even though you brand new battery will not last. So there is two possible cause, 1) Your Alternator is not functioning. 2) there is a wiring problem that causing your battery to discharge easily, but you check it after you switch off the key remove the battery negative terminal then touch it back to batt term. and see if there is little blue spark, if does your wiring system got problem. If not, so your Alternator do not charge the battery.

I have a troy bilt pony with a 6hp Tecumseh engine. It’s difficult to start and when I get it started I have to leave the choke on or it will die. Also it doesn’t run as it should. I drained the old fuel and put new in which helped a little, but still dies when I take the choke off.
ANSWER : I recommend cleaning the filter with gasoline if its foam or replacing it if its paper. If this doesn’t fix the problem you should remove the carburetor (in between the air filter box and the engine) and cleaning it thoroughly with carb cleaner from your local parts store.
