OK...

I have a battery charger, but over 25 yrs old, and basically a 'trickle' charger
for 6/12 volts. Was inherited from family. I did initially attach charger to battery for several hours but didn't make any difference in starting...

I attached jumper cables from the tractor to my car, and tried to start.

Nothing ! Same results, juts a click sounds as before.
Will try to find starter, but suspect it's buried under cowling somewhere...

Next steps.... When I find Starter, I'll attach a jumper cable between Starter and Battery, to see if I can get Starter to spin.

Really stranger behavior because I had engine started and running just a few days before?

Oh.. never mentioned the engine type from beginning.....
It's a Brigs & Stratton INTEK OHV 19hp 2 cylinder.
