I picked up this Scotts riding lawnmower last year. The weather has been fantastic, so I figured why wait until spring? We might as well dig into it to see what’s wrong.

I might have screwed this Lawn Chief repair up. But, it worked out in the end.

This John Deere SRX75 riding mower has been sitting for quite long enough. It’s time to finally get it repaired.

This Cub Cadet HDS 2135 has been sitting in what I like to call our “staging area” for almost a year. It’s time to finish repairing it.

For the most part, you really only need to be concerned about the cold cranking amps if you use your riding lawn mower in the winter. Cold cranking amps directly affect how a battery will perform as the temperature drops. How many is enough?

Troubleshooting no spark conditions is relatively straightforward. The same concepts apply regardless of the manufacturer of the engine. While it’s annoying to find a surprising no spark condition, by being systematic with diagnosis we can hone in on the issue pretty quickly.
