Craftsman riding mower rc remote start

I have a Craftsman T2200 riding mower. I’m converting it to RC. I have the steering and fwd/reverse working via remote control.

How can I start it using a rc transmitter and receiver? Please see attached pictures. I looked at the ignition key and unplugged it. There’s a relay? with 7 prongs.

I’m new to electronics so please help.


anyone please?

This is the type of ignition I have. It’s a 7 prong relay? Any help would be appreciated.

Some ideas:

This includes an RC remote starter:

An alternative would be to see if a standard remote car starter can be installed.

Thank you so much

@tonynsx It would be great to see your progress and the finished product. Consider posting here:

A topical remote starter for a car say from Canadian tire. They all have an external tiger wire. Then just a negative pulse from a r/c relay will tiger engine start and stop. You can do hard wire version yourself but the remote starter would have better safeties already build into it.
