My mower survived other than a blown fuse, so check that.

I did the same . As I drove backwards across the lawn the grass became taller 🙂

I did this today!!🙈  dropped brand new battery in battery box, feeling pretty smug as probably hardly a mm to spare, fitted like a glove.  Connected it up etc, wondered why it sparked a bit.  Wondered why lights wouldn't work.

 

Never even occured to me to check correct way round, lug/bolt thru type terminals.  What a dope!

 

Haven't tried starting it, could this have caused any damage to battery or electrical system?  23hp petrol engine.

I connected the battery on my Countax mower the wrong way once. It blew the printed circuit board. Why it has a pcb is beyond me. Replacement pcb failed after 3 months. Simple basic wiring mod and hey presto, no need for pcb. Only thing lost is a functining hour meter.

Whilst I've never done the battery thing, I did replace the PCB on a Westwood.

 

Same thing, LEDS, headlights, relays and a seat safety switch. Its a ride on mower, the key should have a sticker saying turning this agrees you're not a moron otherwise call for a gardener.
