  If your Gravely Lawn Mower engine doesn't start, there are several potential causes. First, the safety interlock system might not be engaged or could be faulty. Also, the fuel tank could be empty, or the fuel supply might be contaminated, requiring replacement with clean fuel. The battery could be discharged, needing a charge. A loose connection between the battery and cables can also prevent starting, so ensure they are tightened and clean. Spark plug wires might be loose, or the spark plugs themselves could be faulty, requiring connection or replacement. In some cases, the electrical system or the engine itself might be faulty, in which case you should contact your Gravely dealer.

  Cynthia BullockAug 28, 2025
  If your Gravely Lawn Mower exhibits poor cutting quality, several factors could be responsible. First, the mower blades might not be level, or the mower deck pitch could be incorrect. It's also possible that the mower blades are dull or faulty, requiring sharpening or replacement. Another factor could be mowing speed is too fast, so try driving slower when cutting grass. Also, belt tension or condition might be poor, requiring replacement of mower belts. Finally, the cutting height might be too low, so avoid setting the height of cut too low, and for very tall grass, mow twice.
