Troy Built 16 Hydro ( built by Bolens I think), about 10-11 years old.
Have had a problem with the clutch for the mower deck reengaing after you turn the deck off, likely the potted circuit module.we've been living with that.
Old battery I've been too busy to replace, so we charge it in the tractor every time we try to start it after it sits for more than 4-5 days.
Yesterday , my wife ( yes it really was her) hooked up the charger backwards ( wrong leads on wrong poles).
When we try to crank it, it sounds like the starter is spinning but not engaging the motor - not sure that's it but that' s what it sounds like.
Tried charging the right way, but she says the sound is the same.
Afraid we did some electrical damage and would like to try to fix it myself.
Guidance appreciated.
