I'm assuming this is a lawn tractor? Or is it a self-propelled, walk behind mower? Assuming it is a tractor, here's the dope! Check all battery connections, at battery, and where other ends of cables attach, either at the frame, or the starter bolt. You probably need a new battery. Check tightness of cable at starter solenoid, and check the fuse in the line near solenoid. Check bolts where they connect to the starter solenoid. Clean all connections with sandpaper, and reconnect. The model and serial numbers are on a sticker, somewhere on the machine, usually under the seat. The engine numbers are stamoed into the black flywheel housing, either on a plate, or at the square part that covers the fins on the block. Check carburetor for dirt or clogged air filter. Check fuel tank for dirt and water. Install new gas filter, and make sure the rubber fuel lines are soft, and not cracked. Check front main drive belt, and the belt to the mower deck. Look for cracked backing, or the vee part of the belt-s.Clean out around the fins, look for mouse nests in the engine covers. Air up the tires, make sure the foot brake will stop the tractor--its too late when ya start down a slope and find out the brakes don't work! Install fresh gasoline, pull out the choke knob, push the throttle handle up, turn key to start, and it should start. Some tractors have the choke at the top of the throttle throw. Good luck! Rustyj

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
