When you replaced the starter, were there any spacers or shims that allowed for the alignment of the starter into the block? While that COULD be the problem, I doubt it but I thought I'd mention it. It sounds more like a problem with the replacment starter. When a starter is engaged, a gear that is normally pulled back into the starter is pushed out so that it can be in contact with the flywheel gear. If the retractable gear will not move out during startup cycle the starter motor will just wind up and nothing really happens. I suggest that you pull the starter and see if the bendix is engaging the gear. If it isn't, get another starter.

Battery cables loose or corroded which is not likely with a new battery but check the ground connection and the connection at the starter. Charge the battery with a battery charger and then start the mower. Disconnect the positive battery terminal and if the engine dies the problem is with the charging system. Check all the wiring coming from the alternator located under the flywheel. If nothing is wrong then you will have to remove the flywheel and find out what is defective. Can be a diode has failed or the alternator is defective.
Battery light usually means alternator not charging. Most common solutions would be be a bad alternator, bad connection, or loose alternator belt. A replacement alternator can be bad. If it is ok than most likely a poor connection to the alternator.
You might have a bad battery, a poor connection between the battery and alternator, or a bad ground from the battery.
The alternator (stator) is located underneath the flywheel. The rotor is the flywheel itself (the magnets are inside the flywheel). AC voltage is sent from the alternator to either a rectifier or diode pack (depending on model). From there, DC voltage is sent to the battery, via the wiring harness.

You have an open connection from the large alternator output post to the starter main battery post or fuses blown or circuits open feeding the alternator control wiring.

I guess that the first would be that your car wont start. Otherwise look for slow cranking, spinning but not engaging the flywheel, grinding noises, or possibly a click but no turn but that is more often a battery connection issue or solenoid.

If the battery and alt test ok than check the connections to the alternator and battery. You may also have a battery drain (something that is staying on and killing the battery)
