To start the Murray 38510x59A Tractor, first ensure the parking brake is engaged. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "Start" position while pressing the brake pedal. Release the key once the engine starts.
The Murray 38510x59A Tractor is designed to run on unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Ensure the fuel is fresh and clean to prevent engine issues.
If your tractor won't start, check the battery connections for corrosion or looseness. Ensure the fuel tank is not empty and the fuel filter is clean. Verify that the spark plug is in good condition and replace it if necessary.
Regularly clean the cutting deck to prevent grass buildup. Check and sharpen the blades periodically, and ensure the deck is level for an even cut. Lubricate the spindle bearings as recommended in the manual.
The oil in the Murray 38510x59A Tractor should be changed every 50 hours of operation or at the beginning of each mowing season, whichever comes first. Use SAE 30 oil for optimal performance.
Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced blades or debris stuck in the cutting deck. Check the blades for damage and balance, and clear any debris from the deck. If the issue persists, inspect the spindle and pulleys.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the cutting height adjustment lever, usually on the fender or near the seat. Move the lever to the desired height setting. Ensure both sides of the deck are set to the same height for an even cut.
Before storing the tractor for winter, clean it thoroughly and perform any necessary maintenance. Drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
To replace the drive belt, first disconnect the spark plug. Remove the cutting deck and locate the belt on the pulleys. Release the tensioner and remove the old belt. Install the new belt following the belt routing diagram, then reassemble the deck.
If the steering feels loose, inspect the steering linkage and tie rods for wear or damage. Tighten any loose bolts and replace worn components. Check the tire pressure as low pressure can affect steering performance.
