Craftsman Riding Lawn Mower Won't Start?

I accidentally ran over a hose. Now it won't start. I removed the hose by cutting it away and pulling the rest of it out. Now if I try to start it, it clicked a couple of times and then nothing.

Maybe there is a safety switch, you need to locate that usually under the sweat. If not, it could be the flywheel key.

Here is a thread for that here: www.thriftyfun.com/Riding-Mower-Wont-Restart-After-Hitting...

It sounds like the blades of the mover are locked or jammed. You may need to turn the mower over and remove the blades or see what is causing them to not turn again. You have tripped the emergency switch on the mower and it shut off automatically when you ran over the hose.

Now it has to be reset in order to work again. I know they have the switch under the seat of most movers and you should rises up the seat and check for the switch. Basically all you need to do is put it in again or move it to the opposite position and start the mower again.
