Machine Operation & Maintenance

[americangardene]

I have a 257 B and the glow plug assist light isn't coming on when I press it in.  THe machine won't start without starting fluid.  I checked the fuse and it's working and there is power to it. ANy ideas as to where I go next?

I also drained the battery several times trying to start the machine and now the charger shows it as full but when I try to turn it over it doesn't' t have enough power to really crank the machine.  A meter shows 12.2 volts.  Is this spent?
