My 10 year old Gravely Zero Turning Radius mower wouldn't start. Tried to jump start it with my tractor...just clicking sounds. Well I almost convinced myself to buy a new one, even pricing a new one. The dealer said, " You got 10 years out of it, which is more than most!"
The Mustachian in me said, try one more time. I pulled the engine cover and jumped the starter solenoid, and it started up. After a trip to Autozone for a $15 solenoid, started right up! Satisfied as hell...
Pays to get your hands dirty sometimes and have a dad that taught you things like this....
