One of the greatest advantages about riding lawn mower tractors is that they have an electric
tractor starter system built in so that they usually start with ease. On a Craftsman tractor, the electric starter system usually only has two problems. Either the battery is dead or the tractor starter is. Here, you will learn how to change a starter on a Craftsman tractor with just a few wrenches.
-
Unscrew the tractor hood. There are 4 to 6 bolts holding the hood down. Usually, there are 2 to 4 bolts on the sides and two bolts in the front under the headlights
-
Locate the engine starter. If you sit in the tractor seat, the starter for tractor will be in the front, right corner of the engine. It looks like a black soda pop can with two connectors on it.
- Unscrew the black negative cable. Unscrew the red positive cable. Unscrew the two bolts holding the starter onto the engine frame.
- Place the new starter in the same place of the old starter. Install it the exact way you took it off (the red positive cable is connected on the bolt on the tractor starter closer to the seat of the tractor and the black negative ground cable is connected to the bolt on the tractor starter closer to the front of the tractor starter ). Re-install the hood.
