We opened up the gear-box and it seems to be fine. The only problem is it wont turn on when you pull the lever. The spring that pulls when the lever is pulled pulls. It just wont start. Please refrain from telling me to go to sears.com or see a proffesional. HELP!

The mower will not propel itself.

unfortunately you do not allow email on your profile page. I do not know wether you mean the mower will not propel itself or that the mowers motor will not start.

I have a John Deer 0 turn that needs to be jump started can I use a car for this?

Yes it is possible to jump start your mower off your car. However you may damage some electrical components in the mower that are not designed to handle the amperage put out by your car's electrical system.

Its a craftsman Briggs and Stratton, 7.0 horsepower, frontdrive. It's only about 2-3 years old, and its a sears model so it shouldn't be going out this soon. The front drive seem to go at the same speed when i put it to the rabbit, away from the turtle. And it is blowing out black smoke, from the metel side on the left of the mower (mufffler). Also the engine, and the lawn mower acts and sounds weak, like its sick or something. So could anyone help me get it back in to shape again.

Charlie is correct. You should change the oil every 5 hours of use and make sure the oil level is correct every time you use it. It should take about 20 oz. of 30 weight oil, but use your dipstick to be sure of the level. If you don't have a dipstick, you remove the cap located at the bottom of the motor (it has two prongs sticking out) and fill it to the top.

Also, the air filter should be cleaned every few hours of use and more often if it's really dusty. If it's made of foam, you wash it with liquid dish soap and rinse it with lots of hot water. To dry it, put it in a rag and twist it tightly to get all the water out. Once it's dry, use about 2 teaspoons of 30 weight oil to lubricate it. Make sure to squeeze the foam to distribute the oil thouroughly.
It's possible that you have an air cleaner that doesn't get cleaned and should be replaced.
While you have the filter assembly removed, you can spray carburator cleaner on the carb.
If these suggestions don't help, try replacing the spark plug.

Remember to always mow with the motor at its fastest speed (rabbit). This help keep the motor from having to work as hard by giving the blade maximum momentum.
The blade(s) should be sharpened or replaced at the start of every season, also to make your mower more efficient. If you choose to have it just sharpened, make sure that it gets balanced to keep from destroying the motors bearings.

I have a Murray 22" cut 4.0 HP Spirit push mower. I was mowing the grass and it was running fine.I decided to replace the blade on it as the blade was worn out. While I had it on its side, I decided to change the oil in it as well. I cleaned out all the grass that was caked on under the deck. I put the lawn mower back on the ground and was going to try to start it as I was going to mow some more.The mower is only about 2 years old. I have only had to push the primer button 3 or 4 times and fires right up every time. Anyway, when I got ready to start the mower, I pulled the cord on it a couple of times and it locked up on me. I could turn the blade manually (hard to turn) but I turn it and free it up and pull the cord again and the same thing would happen again, it would lock up.I have done this same thing several times, it locks up I turn the blade manually and 3 pulls it locks up. Help me out, what is causing this problem.
The blade will not turn at all now even by hand, it is locked up tight. I have removed the spark plug all the way. Would it be ok to drain all the oil out now and try to pull the cord again? Not to try to start, just to try to free it up?
I have drained all the oil out of it. It is locked up tighter than a drum. I can't get any thing to move at all.I wish there was someone that could at least email me about this so that they can walk me threw all the problems that I am having with it. My dad worked on mowers him self for over 50 years, but his is now 83 and can not help me with this problem. He thinks that it is a piston that is causing the problem. The mower was running fine and not making any kind of noise at all.I can not afford to take it in and get it fix.I'm trying to learn how to fix things myself if at all possible to save me money. I need some more help here please.
I have taken off the top part of the mower where the reel coil is at. Pulled the cord and it pulls freely and rewinds back in with no problem. The fly wheel will not turn at all.At one time I could manaully turn the blade even though it was hard and get it to moving a bit and then pull the cord a couple of times before it would lock up again. But can't even do that now.

I will post it on here with this question when I do get this problem solved.So until you see it wrote here that it is running yet..it is still locked up.

Several things are causing your problem.......Oil has run into the cylinder.
The Engine Safety Brake is not disengaging an is keeping the motor
from turning
Clean the spark plug and the airfilter.........then go for it!!

I had incredible feelings for this one teacher this last year. I haven't seen her since the school year ended (first wk of June) and won't see her again. I'm going off to college.

Seriously, every time I go out, I'm hoping I'll run into her. I always dress nice just in case. I had thought about her often and how badly I wanted to be with her at the moment, but as the summer when on, I thought about her less. I still daydream about her though.

Every now and then though, I'll have a dream about her. I could be dreamin about her everynight, but I don't remember most of my dreams. Everytime I do, I wake up and feel so madly in love with her. I'm depressed it ended. I wanted to throw a chair out my window at the Chinese ladies who woke me up from it this morning. I tried getting the dream back but then a lawn mower turned on from somewhere out my window. :0/ I was so upset.

The teacher was married, straight-possibly bi, and was in her later 20s.
I have been away for about 2 months...

A lot of people have this, its an infatuation with someone who is older because they seem more mature and experienced and sure of the sexuality and are generally more naturally sexy! Don't worry, its just a crush because you don't really know her and when you move away you'll forget about it! Goodluck
