My X540 lawn tractor wouldn’t start this spring and these are the steps I worked through to ultimately solve my problem.
I think trying to jump start the dead battery is what caused the electronic control module to go bad. I’ll use the owners manual suggestion for jumping in the future and try to do better with leaving a maintainer on the battery during winter.
Products and tools used in the video:
I got an OEM battery from the dealer but if you want to save a few bucks and order online, this should work and has great reviews:

Digital volt ohm meter for checking voltage

Starting fluid

Spark plug tester
geni.us/5DRm (Amazon)
My troubleshooting got me into the air filter and spark plugs so this kit has everything plus you’re probably overdue on maintenance anyway:
