Hello,
 
I have a MTD mower with the model number of 13CD768N670, The deck is 40", and is a rear shute. The motor is Briggs & Stratton.
 
My issue is turning the mower from a key start to a push button start. I have been searching the internet for a wiring diagram, but so far unsuccessful. On occasion I come across a diagram that looks really similar but as soon as I go to my mower and hook it up the way it says, nothing happens. I have done bench testing of the solenoid, and switches and all seem to be working fine. I have also tested for continuity on the diode and any wires that need it, all tests come up as working. I have also checked the wires for any damage or wear and they come up fine, I have also contact cleaned all the plugs on the safety switches to gain proper contact. The battery has enough charge in it to start it. I also have an image of the wiring diagram that I have drawn up of how it is is connected.

Can anyone shed some light on my issue??

I looked at your diagram but decided not to dig in because I can't think of any compelling reason to convert from key start to push start on a mower.

All good, just had some switches laying around and thought i would put them to good use. Please note I am not disabling safety switches at all. I would not do it if I could not wire in safety switches.
