No... I looked but didn't see them. I began dragging it and the wheels weren't turning or turning slowly. so I then dragged it on the grass the rest of the way... I didn't have time to f-around because another guy wanted it. I needed to get it to my home asap. After I got it home I watched...

I know nothing about it and haven't had a chance to look at it. He said that it ran and he was mowing with it but the tube came off the carb. He was tired of fooling with it so I towed it a couple blocks to my driveway. It has surface rust but no rust-through on deck or the body. He has...

Get a Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1.

Never start or turn-over an engine that has been flooded with gas because the gas washes the oil off of the cylinders. The rings will destroy the cylinder wall. pull the plugs, squirt lots of oil in the cylinders, let set overnight then crank the engine by hand without plugs to re-lube the...

THANKS! 2012.. so there have got to be a lot of people with rusted-out decks so I should be able to sell it .

I'll betcha that it has an auto-shut-off for just such situations. I doubt that it's "broken". You need to reset it somehow. do a search for "reset electric lawn tractor" . It's going to be simple.... try disconnecting and reconnecting the battery and see if it resets.

the fuel shut off solenoid valve at the bottom of your float bowl is probably stuck.

OK, i got my ZT1 for free from the curb and it runs and mows great but I can't get the levers adjusted properly. one side is faster than the other. so i'm guessing that i need to check the hydro fluid. I've done this job on my Dixie Chopper but not on the ZT1. I gave a cursory look and...
