best lawn tractor 5 acres image
the Tino
Ever since I can remember, I have begged my dad to by a John Deere Lawn mower. From what I see, they never really break. I hear they are extremely durable. yet my dad has found a stupid excuse to get a troy bilt lawn mower. I am putting my neck out on the line for a John Deere, so I was wondering just how durable they really are.
Answer
I myself am a John Deere Service Tech. If you want a durable mower I would suggest getting one from a dealership. The ones that you buy from Lowes or Home Depot are not built as well as one sold at a dealership. Those mowers are what we in the shop call a "Green MTD". Depending on what size yard you have, follow this guide:
1 - 5 acres - X-300, X500 series of tractors. EZ track Zero turn mowers.
5 - 10 acres - X700 series tractors. 2000 series compact utility tractors. 717, 727 z-track zero turn mowers.
10 - 15 acres - 3000 series compact utility tractors. 737, 757 z-track zero turn mowers.
15+ 4000 series compact utility tractors. 777, 797 z-track zero turn mowers.

Can anyone tell me what happened to my lawn tractor?
schoolbus
It's a 19.5 HP Sears craftsman with the motor with the air filter, oil like a car motor.
I just put new blades on and was mowing my yard which is about half an acre.
It was fine mowing just fine and all of a sudden it started sputtering like it was about to run out of gas. It had a little smoke come from the engine and I smelled something burning. I shut it off immediately and checked the gas. It had half a tank. I brushed the grass from the spindles and attempted to start it. It was as if there was no battery....just nothing. The headlights weren't working so I pulled it to the house.
Yikes...any ideas on why all of a sudden it did this? Other than changing blades and routine maintenance it's not given me any trouble. The smoke and burning smell scares me....Sears just did a full maintenance on it 2 years ago. I keep it in a barn during the winter and tarp it during the summer. Its 4 years old.
Answer
not really enough info.
i figure it's either an engine over heat and a wire close the the engine got fried or the was a wire that do to vibration chaffed on something shorting out the ignition.
disconnect the battery. connect only to trouble shoot this. it may drain. you may have a grounding condition.
other than chasing wires with an ohm meter, i'd pull and read the plug(s). those can tell one a lot in regards to the engine. and it may eliminate the worry about any internal engine damage as a result or the cause itself.
you can use this page as a guide line when reading the plug(s).

pay special attention to heat and oil foul conditions. those would point to a serious engine issue. heat would likely be cause by a lean fuel condition. oil, being a result of that and burning a hole in the top of the piston. but if you put your finger in the plug hole and turn it over by hand, and you feel pressure pushing on your finger, compression is prolly good.
other than that, i'd have to see it.
