To start the Murray 38705x5B Tractor, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO is disengaged, and the throttle is set to the choke position. Turn the ignition key to the start position until the engine starts, then release it.
If the tractor won't start, check the battery connections for corrosion, ensure the fuel tank has gas, and inspect the spark plug for wear. If these components are fine, consider checking the starter motor and ignition switch.

To troubleshoot uneven cutting, check that the mower deck is level. Inspect the blades for sharpness and damage. Ensure the tire pressure is consistent on all tires and consider mowing at a slower speed for more even results.
Regularly clean the mower deck to prevent grass build-up. Sharpen the blades as needed and check for any signs of damage. Also, ensure the belts and pulleys are in good condition and properly adjusted.
