John deere 145 automatic won't crank

11 years ago

Johne deere 145 22hp bs. Was cutting grass when the mower died. No power on the ignition switch. Checked the fuse and found it blown. Replaces the fuse and now the engine will not crank. It will move about a quarter inch and then lock. I replaced the battery and had the same result.

I just bought this mower used and don't know much about JD lawn tractors. Any help will be appreciated

"It will move about a quarter inch and then lock." Are you meaning that the engine itself rotates just 1/4 " and then stops? If so, you will want to determine that the engine is not physically seized. How is the oil level? You could confirm that the starter gear is not stuck into the flywheel, PTO clutch is not seized etc.
