If I was looking for issues I'd probably start with fuel. I'd want to see if I had good flow from the tank. Algae can build up in the tank and stop the flow. If your tank has a vented lid (common) it's possible the vent is clogged slowing or stopping fuel flow. You may also have an issue with the fuel filter or the fuel stop solenoid. After you finish troubleshooting don't forget to bleed the air out of your system before attempting to start it.

Thank you Roadworthy, but it’s an electrical problem, the fuel gauge don’t move when ignition is turned on, switch checks out OK, battery is OK, ground checks out OK?

Well, if you're SURE it's an electrical problem, start with the fuses. Check them with an ohmmeter as sometimes they can be bad and look good. Clean the battery terminals and the cables that connect to them. Be sure these cables are TIGHT. Follow the ground cable to the frame. Be sure that is clean and tight, too. You may have done all this already but if not it's a good starting point.

I’m still not out of the woods yet, but I did have a 15 amp fuse blown, I replaced it and checked the rest, Mow the panel will light up and the gas gage works but still no cranking, going to play with it tomorrow, thanks for the advice,

Just a thought... is the HST lever actually in Neutral (to start)? The selector may have 'jounced' or been bumped out of High or Low.

I know that on my 4105, there are 'spots' where it's 'just about but not quite' in position.

I would definitely like to thank all who made suggestions here, it was a fuse, after finding it I had not reconnect the PTO switch, I had to walk away for a couple days, I went back at it this morning and found the disconnect switch, plugged it back together and everything is OK thanks for the help,
