Most small engines of this type can be maually rotated by removing both spark plugs, then press down with both palms on the center of top fan screen (remove shield if present) and rotate clockwise (preferably but no worries either direction).

If it won't budge, then try a socket wrench on the PTO clutch bolt, usually a 5/8" hex. The clutch needs to be energized to lock the PTO to the cranckshaft. Again, both spark plugs removed. Set brake ON and ignition switch to ON, then pull PTO switch ON. The PTO clutch should make a pop sound indicating it is energized. If no sound then something is wrong electrically and this procedure won't work.

With PTO energized, rotating the clutch with a 5/8 wrench will turn the crank. Verify the top fan screen is turning with clutch rotation. It should turn with little effort, a few foot pounds.

If it won't turn or stops turning before two full revolutions then likely internal mechanical failure of engine.

If you get the engine to rotate over two full revolutions, then the starter or start circuit has issues... further troubleshooting required. Comment below for further assistance.

Hi Joe You fixed this didn't you buy buying a new carburetor? I seem to remember you were asking how to set up a new carb. If I had see this, I would have said strip it down and clean all the jets and especially the float jet needle in the bowl at the bottom and add a fuel filter. ..

Question edited for clarity, add maker, put in spaces. Question moved from Cars and Trucks to a John Deere one. It sounds like it needs a good service. There is actually a speed limiter in reverse gear. https://www.google.com/search?q=John+Deere+LT150+no+reverse https://www.google.com/search?q=john+deere+lt150+service+manual+pdf

This could be a starter solenoid issue. Do you do your own repairs? You can 'bypass' the solenoid but I would not recommend doing it if your not familiar with engine electrics.

Its likely a bad connection from B+to ground if your sure the battery is charged .But you say no start and no head lights witch means no power to anything because their separate systems.It sounds like a bad ground neg - from bat to frame or connection battery + or - cables.

if no problems prior to run out keep priming and bleeding lines or test pump pressure

t sounds like there may be an issue with the safety switches on your John Deere Z225 lawn mower. These safety switches are designed to prevent the engine from running if certain conditions are not met, such as if the parking brake is not engaged, the arms are not in the proper position, or the PTO is engaged. Here are some things you can check:

1. Check the parking brake switch to ensure that it is properly engaged. If the switch is faulty, it may not be registering that the parking brake is engaged and will cause the engine to die when you disengage the parking brake.
2. Check the arm switches to make sure they are properly positioned. If the switches are faulty or out of position, they can cause the engine to die when you move the arms.
3. Check the PTO switch to ensure that it is properly engaged. If the switch is faulty, it may not be registering that the PTO is engaged and will cause the engine to die when you engage the PTO.
4. Check the wiring and connections for all the safety switches. Make sure they are not damaged or loose, as this can also cause the engine to die.

If you have checked all the safety switches and wiring and everything appears to be in working order, there may be a deeper electrical issue with the mower that will require further diagnosis

Most of these mowers have a safety switch between the PTO switch and clutch. A safety switch or relay is most likely the problem. Hope this will help ya.

o access the PTO brake on a John Deere 710 model, you need to follow these steps:

1. Park the tractor on a level surface and turn off the engine.
2. Locate the PTO clutch and brake assembly, which is usually located at the rear of the engine or transmission.
3. Remove any covers or panels that are covering the assembly.
4. Locate the PTO brake and inspect it for signs of wear or damage.
5. If the brake is worn or damaged, it will need to be replaced. To do this, follow the manufacturer's instructions for removing and installing the brake.
