  If your Cadet Lawn Mower engine won't crank, start by checking that the safety switch button is fully depressed, ensuring both the brake pedal is depressed and the blade engagement pedal is disengaged. Verify the battery is correctly installed with the negative terminal to the black ground wire and the positive terminal to the red wire. Ensure the battery is not dead or weak; check the fluid level and charge if needed. Also, inspect and replace any blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. Lastly, confirm the engine ground wire is securely connected from the engine to the frame or mounting bolt.

  If your Cadet Lawn Mower cranks but doesn't start, there are several things to check. First, make sure the throttle/choke is in the correct starting position. Next, ensure the gasoline tank is full. Also, inspect the fuel line and in-line fuel filter for any blockages.

  If your Cadet Lawn Mower engine is smoking, it could be due to several reasons: the engine oil may have been overfilled, so check the oil level. The dipstick may not be seated properly or could be broken, so replace the defective part. Also, the engine may be losing crankcase vacuum due to a defective engine breather, which would need replacement.

  If your Cadet Lawn Mower is leaving uncut strips, several factors could be responsible. First, ensure the throttle is set to full. Next, consider using a lower ground speed for a better cut quality. Also, check the cutting height and raise the deck if it's set too low. Finally, inspect the blades; they may be short or dull and need sharpening or replacement.

  Excessive vibration in your Cadet Lawn Mower can stem from a bent or damaged blade. Immediately stop the engine and inspect all pulleys, blade adapters, keys, and bolts for tightness and any spindle damage. Tighten any loose components or replace any damaged parts. If the blade is bent, replace it, ensuring you use only original equipment blades.

  A broken belt on your Cadet Lawn Mower can be caused by several factors. A sudden stop or shock load to the belt could be the reason; inspect the rider for obstructions between the deck and frame or within the belt path. Remove any obstructions and check for damage, replacing the belt if necessary. Also, an incorrect belt could be in use, so replace it with the proper belt, referencing the parts list in the manual for the correct part number. Engaging the belt abruptly can also cause breakage, so engage the belt slowly by depressing the blade engagement pedal slowly. Finally, a defective or damaged belt will need replacement with the proper belt.

How to stop my Cadet 1027 belt from shredding?
- M
  Michaela PachecoSep 5, 2025
  If your Cadet Lawn Mower belt is shredding, it could be due to incorrectly adjusted belt guides or guards; adjust them to be approximately 1/16 to 1/8 inch from the belt when engaged. Misaligned pulleys can also cause this issue; realign them to be within approximately 1/16 inch of each other, using a straight edge to check, and ensure all fastening hardware is tight. A rusted or otherwise damaged pulley, or a frozen bearing, may also be the cause; replace any such pulleys, ordering with the correct part number from the Parts List, and adjust the new pulleys to 1/16 inch.
