What to do if my Textron Tractor engine will not turn over?

  Stephen MurilloJul 26, 2025
  If your Textron Tractor engine won't turn over, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure the Forward - Reverse control lever is in neutral; if not, adjust the neutral linkage. Also, disengage the P.T.O. Another potential cause is a dead battery, so check, charge, or replace it as needed. Inspect the wiring for defects, broken, or loose connections, and use a test light to check the circuits' continuity. Additionally, the starter or starter solenoid might be defective; test by using a jumper from the battery terminal to the solenoid terminal. Finally, check if the safety switches are out of adjustment and ensure they are fully depressed.

Why is the power steering slow on my Textron Tractor?

  If you're experiencing slow power steering or the front lift isn't working on your Textron Tractor, start by checking the transaxle oil level and refilling it to the correct level if it's low. Another possible cause is a dirty or plugged hydraulic oil filter, which should be replaced with a Steiner approved filter. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the problem might be low charge pump pressure, in which case you should consult a Steiner dealer for pump service.

  If your Textron Tractor engine is difficult to start or runs poorly, several factors could be responsible. Ensure the fuel valve is fully open; if it's partly closed or plugged, open it all the way or remove and clean it. A dirty fuel filter can also cause issues, so replace it. Similarly, a dirty air cleaner can be the culprit, so replace the air cleaner element. Check for water or dirt in the fuel and drain and refill with fresh, clean fuel if necessary. If the engine is running too hot, clean the engine screen and fins. Air in the fuel system can also cause problems, so bleed the air out. Lastly, a defective fuel pump could be the cause, so check the fuel pump.

  If the implement drive belt slips on your Textron Tractor, the first thing to check is the drive belt tension. Adjust the PTO drive belt tension according to the adjustment instructions. Also, make sure you are using the correct belt size. Finally, excessive load on the attachment drive system can cause slippage, so inspect the implement attachment for worn or damaged drive parts, blades, bearings, or excessive foreign material buildup.
