Hope this helps.

Tip the seat forward, remove the battery and battery box, and you will see it mounted to the back of the tractor frame
Right behind the solenoid. Have to feel for it of use mirror.
Without the entire model number I can't tll you where to find the solenoid. But, if you follow the positive (+) battery cable from the battery it will go directly to the solenoid. Unhook the cable from the battery first. Then mark the cables that go on the solenoid so you can put them back on the new solenoid in the same positon. All you have to do is remove the wires from the solenoid and unbolt it from the mower. Then put the new one in it's place and hook the wires up just as you removed them.
you have a dirty battery post

1. Locate the tractor battery cables. 2. Follow each cable to where it connects to the tractor. One cable will be connected/attached to the tractor chassis/frame. The other cable will be connected/attached to the tractor starter motor. If you don't find this to be true, then discontinue this procedure now. 3. Connect the unconnected end of the cable that is connected to the starter motor to the "+" or "pos" battery post. 4. Connect the unconnected end of the other cable that is connected to the tractor chassis/frame to the "-" or "neg" battery post. 5. Snugly tighten the post connector nuts to ensure a firm/stable electrical connection. Done. Your battery is now connected to your tractor properly.
Remove the battery cables. Remove the wires from the starter, but label them as to proper location, then remove the two bolts at the back of the starter, top, and bottom.
You take a set of booster cables and you put the red on the positive of the battery and black on the negative of the battery then you take the other end and put the black on the frame of the tractor and you touch the red one to the post where the wire is hooked on the starter and if the starter winds up it works.

if its a no start problem look under the battery tray- you will have to remove the battery and the tray and look at the wires off the solenoid there is a small red one that breaks off
Sounds like you have a dead battery. Put it on a charger, see if it will take a charge. If it does, charge it and try to bring it back to reserve capacity, if not it's time to take a trip and get a replacement battery.
