    Just so you didn't miss the obvious.
    How do you know the battery is good?
    Are the battery terminals clean?
    Did you try to jump start the engine?
    Is there any sound like a click from the starter solenoid?
    Is there some sort of lockout that keeps the engine from turning over
    i.e. transmission have to be in neutral or park , clutch have be
    depressed before engine will crank?
    What about the mower if it has one? Does it have to be raised while
    starting or is there some sort of lever to keep it from running?
    Is there a separate lever that engages the PTO?

    On our John Deere L111, to start engine, you have to be sitting in the
    seat, blades lever in off position, and brake depressed.

    Best bet is it's bad ground -- 955 here turned out was bad replacement
    cable connector that looked fine superficially but wasn't.

    After that, the seat, PTO interlocks...

    Get a voltmeter and follow the wires to the ignition key, every safety
    switch, to the starter motor, and beyond. Then follow f rom the other
    pole of the battery or from the ground.

    Stop guessing what is wrong and figure it out properly.
