Hello, me again. Seems I can't mow without hitting a snag here or there. Stopped to clean out the radiator grate since I was almost in the overheating range. She's been cranking perfectly fine, no problem, then I hop back on and nothing. Last time I had this problem the PTO was engaged and so I made sure it was off. Also, I checked to make sure the electric PTO for the belly mower is in the off position as well.

All it does is turn the key into the on position oil and alternator light up and then nothing, won't click over.
