Hey everybody. I’ve had the John Deere s220 model for about 2 years now and have about 45 hours logged into it. Over the last couple of months I’ve had several instances where it just won’t start. Won’t even attempt to turnover. One time it turned out that the seat sensor was loose. Another instance the engine cover got caught on a wire. I’ve also had it hauled to the dealership I bought it from and had a bad solenoid replaced. The latest issue was just fixed less than a month ago. Last week it took several attempts just to fire it up and eventually it did. Today, I’m not having any luck. Battery is good, solenoid is new, and every wire I’ve checked is connected. There is nothing wrong with it that I can see but I am still not able to get the engine to turn over. Anything I might be missing?

I just acquired a free John deere s220 that needed some repair. It had 18 hours on the meter but was missing a few parts. I just purchased a new mower deck, hardware to mount the seat and various other little odds and ends. The tractor runs and mows great now but I noticed that the linkage for the parking brake was pulled out of the handle up top and I'm having an issue putting it back in. I was looking online and was unable to find out any information on this. Does somebody know how to put it back on the handle?
