Why does my John Deere make a clanging noise when I Turn on the engine?

When I turn on the engine the belt that goes to the back of the tracker underneath the seat is turning a pulley (I guess). Clearly now it’s coming from this area. Might be rubbing against something or something more complicated. That is the drive idler pulley imtalking about.

Can a choke stop a John Deere lawn mower from surging?

Yes, a bit of choke stops the surging. Mowers have not been idled down before shut off for decades it actually increases the heat in the engine. If it only surges at idle then the idle fuel circuit in the carb is still blocked. They can be a bugger to clean and some times they can not.

What makes a lawn mower engine make a weird noise?

With the vibration produced, the engine can even bounce around on the engine mount. Check and tighten all attachments, the blade, flywheel and any chassis parts. Check for debris under the deck, as this can result in a bass-like shuddering noise. Look for logs, twigs or matted grass that are caught in the exit chute or along the baffles.

Which is better the 9200 or the 9300?

IMO the 8870 is marginally better than the 9300, though due to their age it’s getting harder to find well maintained good low houred machines. We’ve run both, as well as the 9200’s, & the 8870’s are a little heavier & seem a little more “solid”.

Is the 9200 transmission good for a tractor?

Hi there. The ones I’ve worked on have been very good. Just make sure there is no play in the rear pivot. It gets expensive to repair. Should be very well greased. I take it you are looking at the 24/24 transmission. The power shifts are ok but use a twin disc box. What about the 8870? Any experience with em? I found one with about 4500 hrs.
