Started mowing this evening and got about 25 feet and the mower shut off. No sputter, no noise, no smoke, just shut off like I turned the key off. Would not re-start after that. Had battery tested and it's good. When I turn the key, I hear the small click, which I think I've read is the starter selanoid? No kind of noise after that. Any ideas? Starter? It's a 2019 with 65 hours on it.

The starter isn’t used when the engine is running, so a malfunctioning starter wouldn’t have stopped the engine. So, it is unlikely that the current problem with starting is the starter, since that would require that two separate problems appeared at the same time.
The problem is something electrical, so it’s time to pull out a multimeter and start checking things. There are many possibilities. If I’ve found the correct manual for your machine, a malfunctioning safety interlock seat switch is one example of what could be the problem. If the switch failed in the open position (as if you’d fallen from the machine) while the electric PTO was engaged, the engine would have shut off. And you’d be unable to restart the machine.

Agree. Any exposed switch, including the ignition, can crud up over time. With mulitple safety switches, you have multiple points for voltage drops.
That seems odd; 20 amp suggests a main fuse. It may well be that the safety switches are simply a series loop in the primary starter circuit.
I have a similar problem. some how I snagged a wire while mowing. I have a green wire and a white wire that are dangling down from a plug on the right side frame just above the mower deck. does anyone have a wiring diagram for the T240. it is model 13APA1ZT093. it is a 2019 year.
any help appreciated.
