    I was cutting the grass and stopped for lunch and now my craftsman
riding mower wont start. All it does is one click.  The battery is good
and there isn`t any loose or broken wires.  Would this be the solenoid,
starter or what? And how do I determine what the problem is?
Thank you for a reply

starting with a charger or a jump from your truck battery?

Cables can still be tight, but have some corrosion. Even the negative
cable ground on the mower frame.

Tight cables don't always mean a "good" contact surface.

Also check the wires on the ignition switch for a good clean
connection.
