I have an MTD lawn tractor, Diana t81. When I'm changing the drive speed in the 3rd, 4th, or 5th gear, it still drives slowly as if in the second gear? What could be the problem?
Try putting it in neutral, then in 6th gear, then letting out the clutch. I've read this re-aligns it.
Where can I find out how to install the rubber arm pads on my MTD yard machine? I am using replacement round arm pads, Wheeltronic Lift/Snapon Lift.
My MTD mower rider will start with the drive belt off, but when I put the drive belt on it just jerks and will not turn over. I would really appreciate some help with this issue.
I have replaced the starter, replaced the battery, and checked for loose wires.My MTD ride on lawn mower runs great, but quits when I let the clutch out. It is model 13ab662f516 13.5 HP in perfect, hardly ever used shape.
Thank you.
I have a MTD l42 riding mower. When trying to crank, the solenoid keeps clicking when cranking.
I have 2007 42 inch Yard Machine riding mower. I forgot which hole my blade cable goes in on my deck.
I have a Yard Machine (MTD) from around 2003, that won't start. When I turn it over, it spins, but won't fire. I cleaned up the carburetor, changed the fuel and oil, and changed the spark plug, but it's still doing the same thing.
Any suggestions?The mower seems to be engaged, and it is having trouble turning over to start. Is there a way to disengage?
My MTD RH115B ride-on mower developed a problem last year where the drive belts for the blade and wheels repeatedly came off.
I had it serviced twice last summer by a local plant-hire company, the second time specifically to address this issue. However last weekend I used it for the first time this year and the drive belt for the wheels came off three times in half an hour.
The last time the belt for the rear wheels - under the seat - went under the belt wheel and I cannot get it back on without removing the belt wheel. It has what looks like a nut on the top, but turing it just turns the wheel. How do I get the wheel off to replace the belt and why would the belts keep coming off?My MTD 660 (about 10 years old) stalls when making a left turn. I've looked for rubbed wires, been over the steering column and linkages, and checked the safeties.
I weigh almost 300 lbs, so the seat switch isn't the problem. I've never run into something like this! Recommendations?My 14 hp. MTD riding lawn mower will only start with a charger attached at 75 amp jump start setting even with a new fully charged battery. How do I know if it is the solenoid or the starter?
I do hear a single click noise each time I turn the key. The starter is warm after trying a few times which lends me to believe it is the starter. Thanks for any suggestions.The engine starts with no problem, but begins to surge, RPMs up and down. Why?
I needed to replace the ignition switch on my Bolens riding mower. I never had a picture of which wires went to which tabs on the back of the ignition so now I don't know which wire goes where.
Please help. It is a 13WC762065 Bolens lawn tractor by MTD.How do I change the PTO cable on my MTD riding mower, and how do I get the cover thing completely off from under the seat? I took out the four screws that I could see and the one under the foot rest area.
But, it still won't come off. Of course I disconnected the battery and took it out.I found out that there are two screws under the big sticker in the middle of the floorboard thing that is in between the seat and the steering wheel. I took them out and was able to change the PTO cable. It's still a b#tch to get the spring off and back on from under the left side of the seat.
My Lawn Boy MTD 13AO672G120 suddenly shifted into the fastest gear. It made for an exciting ride back through the woods on trails, but I can't get it out of that gear. It starts fine, but even in reverse, goes shooting out of the garage in the fastest gear.
Any ideas on a fix? The brakes don't slow it down. The brake spring was gone, but I replaced it with no results.I have a Yard Machine riding lawnmower (Model # 13A176F729). I just purchased it used. I believe I'm having an intermittent problem with the PTO belt. I get the "vacuum noise" when the mower is cutting. About 30 seconds later, that noise disappears, and the mower stops cutting. The mower still moves, but it won't cut. Then, I get the noise and it cuts. A few seconds later, the noise goes away, and the mower won't cut.
Do I need to replace a belt or two?
How do you check the electric clutch on a MTD riding mower? Mine seems to have a lot of free play. Is this normal?

I have a 42" 7 speed MTD Gold riding mower with a 19 hp Kohler engine. I can not get it to start. I have checked the fuel filter, replaced the battery and the spark plug and cleaned the carberator. When I hit it with some starter fluid, it cranks but just falls dead, then won't start again. The last time is did start was last summer. My son tried to jump it, but inverted the positive and the negative cables. Any ideas?
