Why won't my Dixie Chopper Eco-Eagle Xcaliber Lawn Mower starter crank?
- J
  Joe RussoAug 14, 2025
  If the starter on your Dixie Chopper lawn mower isn't cranking, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the PTO is disengaged and the parking brake is set. Also, check that the steering levers are in the neutral lock position. A low battery charge, corroded or loose electrical connections, or a blown fuse can also prevent the starter from cranking. In the case of electrical issues, clean the connector terminals with electrical contact cleaner, apply dielectric grease, and reconnect them. If the relay or switch is defective, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

  Micheal EricksonAug 21, 2025
  If your Dixie Chopper lawn mower engine is losing power, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the engine load is excessive and reduce the ground speed. Also, ensure the air cleaner is clean and the oil level in the crankcase is sufficient. Other potential causes include plugged cooling fins and air passages, or a dirty fuel filter. If the issue persists, there might be dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, requiring assistance from an Authorized Service Dealer.

  To fix an uneven cutting height on your Dixie Chopper lawn mower, start by sharpening the blades or installing new ones if they are bent. Ensure the mower deck is level from side to side and front to rear. Clean the underside of the mower deck to remove any debris. Also, verify that the tire pressure in the drive tires is correct. If the blade spindle is bent or the tips of adjacent blades are at an uneven cutting height, contact an Authorized Service Dealer or replace blades, spindles and/or check for damage to mower deck.

  If your Dixie Chopper lawn mower won't drive, first ensure the steering levers are in the operating position. Other potential issues include a worn, loose, or broken drive or pump belt, or a drive or pump belt that is off a pulley, in which case you should change the belt. Check for a broken or missing idler spring and replace it if necessary. Also, verify that the hydraulic fluid level is adequate and not too hot; add hydraulic fluid to the reservoir or allow it to cool down if needed.

  Joseph RyanSep 7, 2025
  If the clutch on your Dixie Chopper lawn mower will not engage, start by checking if the fuse is blown and replace it if necessary. Also, check for low voltage supply at the clutch. Inspect the coil resistance, battery charge, charging system, and wiring connections, and replace if necessary. If the coil is damaged, replace the clutch. Ensure there is an adequate current supply by repairing or replacing the clutch lead wire or electrical system and cleaning connector contacts. If the rotor/armature airgap is too large, remove a shim or replace the clutch.

  If your Dixie Chopper lawn mower engine won't start, starts hard, or fails to keep running, begin by checking the fuel tank to ensure it's not empty and that the fuel shutoff valve is open. Verify the oil level in the crankcase and make sure the throttle is positioned midway between the “SLOW” and “FAST” settings. Other potential issues include a dirty fuel filter, a dirty air cleaner, a malfunctioning seat switch, corroded or loose electrical connections, or a faulty spark plug. Clean the spark plug, adjust it, or replace it if necessary, and check the spark plug wire connection.
