Craftsman LT1000 will not start

My Craftsman LT1000 only clicks when I try to start it. I plan on buying a soleniod for it. Could it be the starter? It looks like the starter would be hard to change out. Any suggestions?

It could be a variety of things, I would start by making absolutely sure battery is good and at full charge, and, making sure all cables have no corrosion and solenoid ground is clean.
post your 917.nnnnnn model number so's we can see what we're working with.
How old is it ??
thanks,

HAVE YOU TRIED JUMPING THE STARTER ?? USE JUMPER CABLES FROM THE BATTERY TO THE STARTER, I DID THIS WITH MY YARD MACHINE, HOOK CABLES TO THE BATTERY THEN GROUND THE OTHER NEGATIVE END TO THE FRAME OF THE MOWER , TAP THE OTHER POSITIVE TO THE POSITIVE POST ON THE STARTER, IF IT TRIES TO START IT'S NOT YOUR STARTER.......................BEFORE DOING ANY OF THIS ,MAKE SURE THE MOWER IS IN NUTRAL AND THE CUTTING BLADES ARE NOT ENGAGED !!!!!!! THIS WILL SPARK A LITTLE SO BE VERY CAREFULL..............PAUL

Tro-Bilt Push Mower Transmission needs help

L

leaning on Apr 03, 2013

Hello! I have a year-old Troy-Bilt self-propelled push mower model 12AVB26M011. I noticed that the transmission was leaving grease stains in my garage. The manual says it is factory sealed and does not need fluid added. Well, to get to it, I had to take the cover off. It's getting it all back together I am having problems with. 1) If you look where the pink tape is, is the belt routed correctly through that wire bracket? 2) There is a clip that was just rattling around in there. Where does that clip go? Where the white tape is there a three rectangular holes that look like the clip could go in any of them, but which one? Or is there supposed to be three clips? 3) My clip is not symmetrical. Is that the whole clip, or is there a piece broken off? (I don't have a new one to compare it to.) I appreciate the help! Respectfully, LeaningRead More
