Hi all this is my first post and whole reason for joining I have
inherited my dads *Petrol Honda HRX537 hydrostatic Mulching key start
mower in near showroom condition .
Problem I have with it now is 1: I cannot find the the battery charger
to use the key start , which hence does anyone know where I may find one
from ??


2: It starts by pulley, but I want to use the key start for reasons its
easier to do this way , it turns over but nothing happens when I use the
key start .Can anyone think what problem may be ??


Any automobile battery charger will charge it, but it may not hold a
charge, it may need a new battery, only one way to find out.
Everyone who drives an automobile or any vehicle with a battery needs
a charger, they are rather inexpensive, a very servicable one will
cost about $50... this will do, I have one just like it only I bought
mine about 20 years ago, been a lifesaver many a time:http://www.sears.com/diehard-10-2-50...ery-charger/p-...


My battery start Honda used a sealed battery with a wire & plug that
plugged into the mower wire harness. No way to use a automobile
charger. I went thru 2 batteries before I modified the mower to use a
motorcycle battery & auto charger. Looked bad but worked good.
