Maybe one of the levers is in a position where it doesn't allow cranking if its engaged?

please help

All the fuses are fine

The sensor line does not have current at the starter (little wire that tells it to crank)

I am providing the starting circuit wiring diagram showing you there are 4 safety switches in the circuit from the key switch to the starter.

forum BX1500 no start.jpg

The first place to check would be the seat which has two switches.

To prove the starter itself is OK you could "jump it." This has a serious risk as you are bypassing all safety features. My suggestion is to have someone in the seat with a foot on the brake.

Use a piece of wire or even an old screw driver to bridge the small terminal to the terminal with the battery cable. Expect a few sparks. The engine should crank instantly if the starter is OK.

Is it in neutral? I take Venmo and Paypal. 😁
I had no clue how to put this thing in gear, after i read your comment, I went and read the manual

Then I messed with the levers, and I must've put it in neutral,

boom, started right up, runs like new

Whats your venmo? I'll send you $15 since I had to figure out the levers

Thanks for the data, definitely useful info, but it turned that maybe the machine was in gear and when i got it out of gear, it started right up

The bx1500D, I am not seeing a hydraulic fluid reservoir, it will take about 2.7 gallons of "UHD" which goes into the big transmission under the seat

It will run a bucket using this fluid? I am not seeing a hydraulic reservoir on the front

Yes one sump (reservoir) runs everything.
