Ryobi 40V Mower Not Starting & Self Propel Issues

In this video we take a look at a Ryobi 40V Brushless, Self Propelled Mower. I bought this mower for $20 from Facebook marketplace and it had parts missing and of course it was sold as is, with no battery and mentioned the issue that the motor would not run. If I can get this mower working it will be great for the back yard around my shed where its more likely to find its way into occasional rocks, small stumps, edging etc. so I can keep my EGO mower in the garage and just use it on the front lawn.  If I can not get it working the working parts alone are worth way more than $20.
We make this a quick, but hopefully still informational video. We take time to show battery pack causing some issues and a pretty easy fix for that (at least for this model). We also spend a few minutes looking into the self propelled drive system.
