Why my Gravely 54 ZT XL Lawn Mower engine will not crank/start?
- C
  Chelsea AndersonAug 15, 2025
  If your Gravely Lawn Mower engine won't crank or start, several factors could be at play. First, make sure the safety interlock system is properly engaged and not faulty. Next, ensure the fuel tanks are filled. A discharged battery could also be the culprit, so try charging it. Check for poor connections between the battery and cables, tightening or cleaning them as necessary. Inspect the spark plug wires and plugs, connecting any loose wires or replacing faulty plugs. If these steps don't resolve the issue, there may be a fault in the electrical system or the engine itself, and you should contact your Gravely Dealer.
