Thanks, Dave, I think I found the issue. It appears the negative cable on the battery was very loose. I googled/You-Tubed your suggestion in case it went that far, but hopefully the loose cable was the issue.

My T1400 mower (purchased new in 1989) is starting to have an issue after running. Once I stop, for fuel, etc, when I try to start it back up nothing happens, not even a "click." If it sits a day or so I can restart it. I have checked the connections to the starter and the seat connections...

I have owned and maintained my T1400 since purchased in 1990 and never had any issues until now. It appears to have lost power, and when mowing the blades get bogged down in relatively short grass. The service technician put on a new belt for the blades and said everything looked fine. It...
