Sounds like the solenoid on starter is bad. A solenoid kicks the gear out to meet flywheel, If its bad the starter will spin and not engage. God-Bless!
If it is engaging, then likely all or many of the "teeth" are broken off on the flywheel. Accordingly, unless you get really, really lucky it will never start w/o a new starter.
SOUNDS LIKE THE BENDIX IS BAD,IF IT'S BUILT LIKE AN OLDER CAR STARTER.YOU CAN CHECK IT TO SEE IF IT'S ENGAGING BY REMOVING IT FROM THE MOWER AND HOOKING BOOSTER CABLES TO IT{RED TO STARTER WIRE HOOK-UP&BLACK GROUNDED TO STARTER}
