I am the proud new owner of a 1978 C-101. I bought it yesterday, and it is in amazing condition. Everything worked except the brake peddle and under chair safety cutoff. I started mowing today, and everything was going great. As it got late, I started using the lights. Suddenly, the mower stopped in the middle of a mow. Here are the facts that seemed relevant to me: The motor won't try to turn on when I turn the key. The lights and the electrical won't turn on with the key and switch. It has a new tank of gas and fresh oil. I inspected the wires, and they look ok at first glance. The WH has a car battery dated from April 2011. I do not have a black thumb. I am basically ignorant, but it seems like an electrical issue to me. Could the battery have completely died even while running? What do you guys think? I was hoping to do a post showing this awesome mower, but this happened before I could!
