First thing to check is the seat switch. By pass it and go from there. If its a hydro Netural is not always on the mark. move the lever around.
Brake safety may or may not be working.

You didn't say if it cranked or not. Seat switch will let it crank, but not start.

Turn the switch and nothing, not a thing. Battery is good. Bypass safety switches, haven't tried bypass of the ignition switch because I don't know how.

It won't crank and isn't locked up. Tried seat switch, brake switch and power take off switch. Checked wire going into neutral switch.

Remove the phllips head screws on your instrument panel and carefully lift it out of the dash. On the left side, pull the #2 fuse and see if it is blown. Replace it with a 10 amp or self-resetting circuit breaker for a long-term fix.

This may not be your problem, but I'd bet it is. I'd bet you a big ol' greasy hamburger if I weren't on a diet.

Ok, so I'm posting for my dad, he is going now to check the instrument panel. Thanks

Well, the fuses are below the instrument panel on the left. I didn't make it clear that they are not on the instrument panel.

Thanks, We found a fuse that is out but he was never given a manual to tell if that's the one we're looking for so he ran to the auto parts store to replace it. Will post the result as soon as he gets back.
