John Deere not starting

10 years ago

I have a John Deere ztrak z445 mower that won't start. I have put a new battery in it. I can jump the solenoid and it starts. So I put a new one in and it does the same thing. When it is started and I turn the key it doesn't make any wired noises. Please help.

It is probably the ignition key switch. Check the soldered connection in the back of the key switch.

You can also check the safety switches to make sure they are working correctly. Usually there is one under the seat, on the emergency brake, and/or the control arm.

I tried that. And I also tried the control arm switches and the seat one. Where is the emergency brake switch?
