Husqvarna TS 354d Kohler KT740 Won’t Turn Over

That sounds like the solenoid is engaging and the starter is not getting the required voltage or amps to engage the starter.

Could be a bad starter, low +12V wire going to the starter, a corroded or bad connection at the starter itself.

Next step is to verify the actual voltage at the starter when the key is moved to the start position.

I hope you post the final fix once you find it.

I hadn’t considered a bad starter, but I guess I should because the previous owner caused the solenoid to melt. I can take the starter off my old mower and try it.

I am not familiar with your machine, but most solenoids can be disassembled. You maybe able to just rotate the contact bolts that the solenoid plate contacts and then it will work again.

Well with a new solenoid it turns over with the key.

The original solenoid on this engine was melted and I switched to one from my old mower.

The one from my old mower was from 2013 so it was likely on its last leg.
