What should I do if the tractor is overheating?

If the tractor is overheating, check the engine cooling fins and air intake screens for debris and clean them if necessary. Ensure the oil level is correct, as low oil can cause overheating. Also, check the radiator and coolant levels, if applicable, and refill or service as needed.

Uneven cutting can be caused by several factors. Check for dull or damaged blades and replace them if needed. Ensure the mower deck is level and that the tire pressures are equal. Also, inspect for any obstructions or build-up under the deck that could affect the cut quality.

How do I replace the drive belt on my tractor?

To replace the drive belt, first disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove the mower deck as per the instructions in the manual.
