When the PTO switch is turned on the mower deck does not come on. I have replaced the PTO switch but it still does nothing. Could the electric clutch be bad?

Toro Walk-Behind Lawn Mower: White smoke and spitting oil?

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 09:30:23 -0700

I shouldn't be allowed to operate power tools anymore, but whatever... I was mowing my yard when I hit a piece of hidden wood. A piece of wood jammed against the side of the lawnmower and the blade, which required me to flip it on its side and dislodge the chunk of wood. After I removed the wood, I put the mower back into its right position and took a break (It's hot out..). After my 45-minute break, I went to start it to finish cutting and it was belching out white smoke, and leaking and spitting oil out of the muffler. My father and I took a look at it finding nothing, but I took off the air filter cover and there was also an oily residue in there, more than normal. What could be wrong with it?

P.S: Comment if you want pictures.

Lawn Mower craftsman ZTS 7500: mower starts but will not engage in forward or reverse

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 18:55:45 -0700

My mower will not go forward or in reverse when moving the levers forward or backward. No symptons could be detected prior to the issue. I was mowing and starting to go in reverse and it would not go. At that time it would not go forward either.

Craftsman Riding Mower: Clutch /brake pedal adjustment LT2000

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 07:01:08 -0700

Need info on my LT2000 Craftsman riding mower. On adjusting the brake/clutch pedal. The tractor will not stop any longer when you push the pedal all the way. It also is having trouble on hills like the belt that drives it is slipping and needs to also be adjusted, or does one adjustment take care of both, Any help greatly appreciated.

Replaced a worn fuel line. Ran great for about 20 minutes, then stopped. Will re-start but only run for 15-20 seconds. I replaced spark plug and air filter as well, but same problem. Engine keeps stopping after 15-20 seconds.

Craftsman Riding Mower: Mower is stuck in neutral gear

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 18:50:33 -0700

Took the mower up an incline and came back down. You cannot shift to forward or reverse. Mower on or off. It will not move. You usually can push the mower anywhere if you manually move this metal part that goes into the transmission. Can someone tell me if this can be fixed without professional assistance. What is the proper name and part number or can you direct me to a parts repair list on-line?
