So over the weekend my Kubota ZG222 had a dead battery, I jumped it off and had running but it died on me again. I jumped it off a couple of times but the last time I reversed the jumper cables and now the mower is dead. I did install a new battery and replaced the 15amp fuse under the seat but it still wont do anything when I turn the key. Any thoughts on what to check? Figured it could be ECU or starter but didn't know if I should look at anything else.

Thanks guys, looking forward to getting to know everyone here.

I don't know that machine, But you may have burnt out a Fuseabile link. Time to put a volt /Ohm meter to work and trace it out.

Check your owners manual against THE ONE SHOWN IN THIS LINK for a 50 amp slow blow fuse (circled number 2 in picture). The Protected circuit for the 50 amp fuse says "Check circuit against wrong battery connection" which is what you say you did.
Also, welcome aboard to OTT.

Flip, is that much different then the motorized wheel borrow you wife just bought? Why do you have to be negative on what others purchase. Sometimes passing over a thread is OK.
