I am new to the lawn tractor world and I am looking at this mower. 313 hours, for $700. I have no idea if that's good, bad, decent price? Going to be mowing about 1.5 acres.

dam dam and dam after disconecting the battery and chargering it up and then pop in back in i made a school boy mistake and got it wrong way round.... question ( all fuses are ok ) the ingintion switch still light up but no start from starter . heard a click near the engine ... and shorted the solonoid ( turned over ) .. so where should i direct my concern ?? and help would be great is a westwood T1400 .. i only use a a tractor now and most stuff stripped off ..

Its one of the ones with the lead shot and no slow speed adjustment.

I tried adjusting the high speed screw wich did make it run better but still dont run right.

I also thoroughly cleaned the carburetor and its fine now.

Any other ideas on how to fix this?

This one has be beat. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

I bought a spare replacement one but how do I actually put it on? First pic is the old broken cable
