  Roger WilsonJul 27, 2025
  Your Simplicity Tractor might not start due to several reasons: * The brake pedal might not be fully depressed, so ensure you fully depress the brake pedal. * The PTO (electric clutch) switch might be in the ON position; place it in the OFF position. * The cruise control might be engaged; move the knob to the NEUTRAL/OFF position. * The tractor might be out of fuel; if the engine is hot, allow it to cool before refilling the fuel tank. * The engine could be flooded; disengage the choke. * The battery might be discharged or dead; recharge or replace the battery.

  If your Simplicity Tractor engine stalls easily when the mower is engaged, consider the following: * The engine speed might be too slow; set it to full throttle. * The ground speed might be too fast; slow down. * The cutting height might be set too low; cut tall grass at maximum cutting height during the first pass. * The engine might not be up to operating temperature; run the engine for several minutes to warm up. * You might be starting the mower in tall grass; start the mower in a cleared area.
