I just bought a YTS4000 for a $100 and it has the same problem this one has. Appreciate the video. Helps a lot!
That is great, thanks for watching
Do
I’m having a similar (drive belt I believe) issue with a 2004 craftsman revolution riding mower, it’ll start and blades will engage, when I go to move forward or backwards it smokes like a civ and smells like burnt rubber. Just happened 5 min ago so I’m just about to dive into it. I just got this mower so I’m very unfamiliar with it. I bass fish for a living, not so much mower work🤣🤣 appreciate your insight man. Just subbed!
PS: hope your camping trip was awesome, yes I know I’m way after the fact. But I like genuine people
Good luck on finding the issue
You probably have a seized pulley on your deck if I had to guess
Thanks for watching and subbing
@@MurphyMower it’s a seized pulley haha, grenaded the belt too so I just ordered both! I’ll have to wait till I’m back from guntersville next week to fix it tho which kinda sucks
@@Franny_the_Fisher now’s a good time to power wash, and wire brush the underside of the deck, then paint it with any number of nonstick paint options. I use graphite paint, but I know there are others
@@liquidrockaquatics3900 I took the time to give it a really good cleaning, thankfully, the deck is in great shape, so no touchups had to be made. It was extremely well taken care of and the hours on the mower are extremely low, it’s a 2004 and I just hit 101 hours.
You must be living right to stumble into a good deal like that.. that's an awesime find
That usually does not happen with me but that was a good find
That is an awesome find and with a trailer too . Glad you got there first . Can’t wait to see the next video !!!!
I’m ready to get that part installed and deck back on and see how it mows
I’ve been on vacation all this past week . I’ve got to go back to work to get some rest . I haven’t even started on the craftsman mower yet !!
I’m on vacation now we just flew down to the keys
Me and my first wife use to go to the keys a lot and scuba dive . Have a great vacation !!
Two days in Key Largo two days Key West
Great video I have the same mower.
I have a question for ya.
I have a 2 year old Craftsman t110 lawn tractor. It hasn't ran or moved since last year.
I was cutting my grass and the mower just turned off and came to a dead stop. No bang or any noise no smoke no nothin. I started it right back up but only ran for a second and shut off again.
Now it turns over, gets spark, starter is fine but won't start. Its like its not getting gas? It also has that fuel shut off solenoid.
The bigger problem is I can't push or pull the mower cause 1 rear tire goes one way and the other goes the other way. So to move it I have to pick up the rear-end and push it. I've tried putting it in drive, reverse or neutral same thing happens. Nothing. I jacked the rear-end up and one wheel goes one way the other the other way.
The mower is in my basement down the hill. I can't push it up to the front of my house without picking up the rear-end. So almost impossible to get it to my trailer to take it to get it looked at.
If these mowers won't start will it lock the back wheels up like that?
If you could help in anyway it would be appreciated greatly sir.
Thank you
Mike
does that have a fuel pump?
And is it hydrostat or gears?
You probably already figured it out, but that mower has a hydrostat, so you have to hit the hydrostat dump to push it or tow it
Do you have a link to amazon for that part? I might have to buy one too for mine. Thanks!
I do not but if you type your model number and go to Sears Parts direct it would give you the part number and then you could look on Amazon
@@MurphyMower ok thanks
How was the seat safety bypassed to allow for starting/operation without weight on the seat?
The guy before me did this i,f you take the two wires under the seat and connect them together that will bypass that switch
on mine, putting on the parking brake let's you do it.
@4:24 Our older Craftsman has the same part that broke... do you know what the name of this part is?
Look at 9:27
It gives you the part number and all the information you should need
Awesome, thank you!
Mine is pulling but don't wanna pull up hill been using it til today I pulled the drive belt off it's fraided could that cause it not to pull correctly
Yep- get a new belt inspect all the pulleys and make sure they turn smoothly and if any are plastic, make sure they’re perfectly round
Frayed belt is most likely slipping when you put pressure on it
Thanks guys I'm disabled and I cut the property where I live for my rent.hopefully this saves me a bunch of money I can't afford to put out
I got belt changed and it's pulling just fine.thanks
Great- thanks for the update
thx
Hope it helps
Hey Murph... I have a similar mower but Poulan brand. I was excited with your video, because my mover starts but the drive belt won't engage. I thought perhaps it was the linkage, unfortunately for me that is not the case. However, I notice when it starts and release my foot off the break it's shuts off even though I'm sitting on the mower. Any idea where or what to check to help resolve the issue? I used it a couple of weeks ago, as I cut bi-weekly. TIA
First thing I would do is check seat switch
So there is a seat switch and a switch at your foot clutch and then also you need to look at your relay is bound to be one of those
There’s another video that I have where I would start it and as soon as I remove my foot off the break, it would die or if I try to engage the blades, it would die. In that case it was the relay.
Good luck
I'll focus on the relay, the switch seems to be fine. T/Y
My AYP with Kohler CV15S was running fine with white smoke. Now engine sounds weak an mower won't go forward or backward!
It could be many things, but the easy check is the belt
So I crashed my lawn mower into my trailer while I was driving it up. When I crashed it it shut off, however it did not move forward or back ward now. It'll start back up but I am not sure what isn't engaging now.
Wow, good luck with that. Just look at all the components around the transmission and I bet you’ll find a broken piece.
A ten minute video to get 60 seconds of information. If your looking for a rambling chat this may be for you.
Thanks for watching
Do you still have your red craftsman tractor?
I do
Free is for me!
Ha, Free always works
Content would be better if you just got to the point
Thanks for watching
Working on it
I also have ADD 😂
A lot of talking but never showed how to fix it
Sorry, it was not clear
It was missing two bolts into the transmission which made the transmission twist so I replaced the two bolts and then replace the linkage arm and that’s basically what did it
Hope this helps. Thanks.
@@MurphyMower Thanks!
