Today I was cutting on my property and hit a log with my deck and it killed the mower. I attempted to restart the mower and it will not start. The starter clicks whenever i turn the key, the fuel pump is brand new and works fine. I know some mower have a sacrificial key that will shear if something like this happens but I dont know if this Kabota has that. Any help i greatly appreciated.

No, your Kabota does not have a sacrificial key.
The Kubota ZD21 has belt-driven blades, so it does not need one.
Did you put your PTO lever in the OFF position to restart it?
