Does it have any "neutral" switches, say on the pto, rocker "go" pedal, etc. That's what it sounds like to me if every other system is "go".

The newer ones have two on the seat switch as well.

Probable cause's....
neutral safety switch,
ignition switch,
make sure pto is not engaged,
fuseable link to the starter blown.

There is a S-shaped exposed 30-amp fuse mounted on the firewall that gets corroded terminals and no longer passes enough current to operate the solenoid. Powering the solenoid by jumping it bypasses the corroded fuse. For my L3445DT I bought an in-line 30a replacement fuse and wired it in - problem solved.
