Delivery costs have now made this the most expensive mower ever.Ah yes, the shotgun approach. It has 2 'bail bar' switches, and both have to be released for the thing to start. I tested both and bypassed both. No change. It seems the control board is a known failure item. Maybe I'll purchase a control board, but putting a belching 2 stroke engine on the 'ol battery mower has a strange appeal to me...
That is the LawnBoy 6.5HP mower engine that may jump on to the Toro...

It’s always the most unassuming projects that turn out this way.
