    gas powered riding mower battery

    Hello, My Craftsman T150 46 inch riding mower uses a U1R battery. I'm guessing the only thing that battery does is crank the mower. I'm guessing the stator keeps the battery charged. I think I read these batteries are good for about 1000 cranks. We have 3 1/2 acres. The mower seat has switch...

    How do riding mower transmissions work?

    I'm sure there are more than one answer. I know for a fact that some have gearboxes with multiple speeds and reverse.

    JD 108 riding mower - turning the PTO on shuts the engine off

    After getting this unit running, I go to test the mower part of the tractor and when I engage the PTO switch (pull out and flip up), the mower goes to shut down. It's as if the key is being turned off. I do have the wiring diagram. And side note, see that the seat connector has a piece of wire...
