Default Craftsman Lawn Tractor 22hp Kohler - Died and won't start! Help

I had a very similar thing happen with my 20HP Garden Tractor.
It turned out to be a short in the safety relay for engaging the blades.
Cost about $25 to fix.

om...
My son was mowing the lawn and the tractor just stopped.

When we try to start it, nothing happens. I mean nothing! No turn
over, no clicking or anything. The hour meter and lights still work
when the key is turned. I do have the owners manual with schematics. I
changed the 30amp fuse as a shot in the dark but that did not help.

One thing confusing to me is what part would fail that would stop the
mower when operating that also will not allow it to start.

May or may not be related but we had just put a new mandrel, blades,
mower/mover drive belts, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter getting
reading for the summer. He got about an acre cut before it died.

Its been a great tractor with just normal maintenance - only about 500
hours.

Any suggestions on where to start?

Thanks in advance,

David
