To the rear of the engine & is cylindrical in shape, follow the wires from your battery to find it.
Under the RH wheel well next to the starter switch
I assume you are talking about the starter solenoid: Follow the positive battery cable from the battery - the other end will be connected to the starter solenoid.
Many times it is better to replace a starter than to repair it unless the repairs are minor. A lawn mower engine repair manual would be the best guide. You can find one at your local public library.
The starter is stuck.
The correct one.
You should be able to turn the starter with little effort when it is not engaged with the flywheel.
Assuming you are referring to the starter solenoid, the easiest way to find it is by folowing the positive battery cable from the battery. The cable goes from the battery to the solenoid and then continues from the solenoid to the starter.

your starter is pulling too much energy from your battery. Either the battery is too small or your starter needs attention.
Not being sure what type (rider or pusher) or model mower we're talking about here....Here's my best guess: On a rider or lawn tractor the battery is usually under the seat or under the hood in the engine compartment. On a push mower, it may be under the engine shroud or...under the mower deck (usually in the back) behind a plastic cover. Sure fire way to find out is to grab hold of the wire (cable) at the starter and trace it. I'll guarantee you that one of the starter wires will lead you to the battery. Happy hunting, and good luck! :-)
How do I replace starter cord on lawn mower? Remove the engine starter cover or blower housing which contains the starter rope. Check to see if the spring is still good then just rewind the starter rope pulley to re-tension the spring. Insert the replacement rope into pulley as originally routed and let the spring wind the rope back into pulley. Then replace the starter handle. Make sure you keep tension on the starter pulley while the rope is winding.
If the mower has an electric starter, the gear on the starter is worn. Replacement is not hard and the part (a plastic gear) is relatively inexpensive.
