The recommended oil type for the Simplicity Conquest Series 2691180-00 Tractor is SAE 30 for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and 10W-30 for temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
To change the oil, run the engine for a few minutes to warm it up, turn off the engine, and remove the oil drain plug to drain the old oil. Replace the plug, add new oil through the fill port, and check the oil level with the dipstick.
If your tractor won't start, check the battery connections, ensure the fuel valve is open, and make sure the parking brake is engaged. Also, check for any blown fuses or faulty spark plugs.
The air filter should be checked every 25 hours of operation and replaced or cleaned as needed. A clogged air filter can affect engine performance and fuel efficiency.
To sharpen the blades, remove them from the mower deck, secure them in a vice, and use a file or a grinding wheel to sharpen the cutting edge. Ensure the blades are balanced before reinstallation.
To adjust the cutting height, use the mower deck lift lever to raise or lower the deck to the desired height. The cutting height can typically be adjusted from 1.5 to 4 inches.
If the transmission is slipping, check the drive belt for wear or damage, ensure it is properly tensioned, and inspect the transmission fluid level and condition.
To winterize the tractor, clean the exterior, change the engine oil, add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank, remove and store the battery in a cool, dry place, and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure.
Routine maintenance includes checking and changing the engine oil, inspecting the air filter, sharpening the mower blades, checking tire pressure, and inspecting belts and hoses regularly.
To troubleshoot uneven cutting, ensure the mower deck is level, check the tires for proper inflation, inspect the blades for sharpness and damage, and ensure the deck lift linkage is not bent or damaged.
