I started working on a GT245 mower. The mower was not cutting correctly like the blades were bent. I found out that it had 3 different blades on it so i replace them all... problem solved. I checked the oil and notice that it was black and smelled of fuel so i serviced the mower and had did find out that their is two types of air filters one for internall vented and one for externally vented carbs. The one on the engine says internally vented so that is what i went with. I hope that whoever had it before was correct. The dealer couldn't tell me how else i could tell from looking at the carb. Today i was running the mower, used it about an hour. i parked it and later came back to it to load it back onto my trailer. Once i got i started it acted as thought the choke was stuck and started putting out black smoke then began making a horrible knocking noise like the engine was going to come apart. I shut it down. I bumped the ignition a few times without letting it start and could hear parts rattling like it was coming from inside the engine. I pulled the air cleaner and noticed a small amount of oil. I bumped the ignition again and didn't notice anything so i started it and the noise was gone.
Any idea as to what i should do next?

I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
