If the tractor had a battery in it when you were jumping it, there is a chance that the battery is bad. Try unhooking the tractors battery and trying again. Hook your jumper cables to the battery cables themselves without being attached to the battery. If it runs then just replace the battery. A battery with a short in it will keep the mower from charging and could cause it to die.

If there was no battery in the tractor when you were jumping it, then the tractor is not charging and will have to be diagnosed as to what the problem is.

Unplug the control unit by removing the fuses, or disconnecting the battery. After waiting a few seconds, reconnect the unit. Then turn the key to on. Wait 5 seconds, then press and hold program on the remote for 5 seconds. The door locks should cycle once.
