i was mowing my grass with my yardman riding lawn mower and i hit a large hole! now when the other wheel is straight the one i hit the hole with is at about a 45 degree angle! is there an easy solution to this or am i gonna be forced to take it to a repair shop?

It's not the tire or wheel...it's the steering rod that has been bent. Unless you know how to straighten it...I suggest you take it to shop for repair.

me phil and tom testing out the new yardman ride on mower!!

We are using my father's riding lawn mower and he has mulching blades on. He has the little hole thingy where the grass should normally come out of blocked with a piece of metal and tape. Well when trying to mow the grass you can not mow on anything less than a level 3 and sometimes only a level 4. Also when mowing the grass the mower will start to make a skreeching sound and then smoke and then the blade just stops cutting. Not sure what the problem is nor how to fix it. In addition to the noise and smoking, the blade is often missing areas of grass. any ideas?

that screeching sound is the belt slipping and the smoke is the rubber belt burning. you have to open the little hole thing. the grass has no where to go and it gets to be too much for the mower to handle, thus the slipping and burning belt and missed areas of grass. open the hole and you will be fine

I have a lawn tractor (Yardman riding mower) model number
13aj771g713, Serial number: 1c155b40193. I used it for two years. Last year I had to charge the battery the first time and it works fine. This year when I charge, the charger displays an error, meaning the battery is dead, or the connection is not good, according to the manual of the charger. I made sure the connection is good.

So I am wondering maybe the battery is dead? How can I make sure? I have a multitester but it only can check batteries of of 1.5v - 9v. The tracor's battery is 12v.

Bring it to an auto parts store. I know Auto-Zone does this. Most of them have a load tester that'll determine whether it's good or not. It may well read 12 volts on a meter but still not be any good. Most of the automotive parts stores will test it for free.

I have a yardman riding mower with a briggs&stratton I/C engine. I was using it in 4th gear going up a hill when it stopped moving. I turned it off and now i cant get it to start. I tried both the keys start and the pull cord. I didnt change any tires lately and it ran fine yesterday. It has new battery, spark plug, and has always started. I need to get this working or my lawn will be 1 foot tall. when it wouldnt move I turned the mower part on and it shook a lot. what could be causing it not to move? Why wont it start? and how can i fix it?

Customer support pages on http://www.YardMan.com might be of use. You can get the manual (with your serial number etc), which might contain helpful information...
