Why won't my tractor start?

Question

Why won't my tractor start?

Answer 1

It's not s**y enough.

Answer 2

Here at the help desk, we believe that you should switch to the Tract-o-matic 5000.  The only nuclear powered tractor on the market.  It will gives you years of dedicated and reliable service.  It will also give you tons of nifty nuclear waste that you can do cool experiments with say, on your annoying neighbors.  It's possible that your current tractor won't start because you are sitting at your computer and not at your TRACTOR.

Answer 3

Check the batteries, if it will crank then try a shot of ether in the air cleaner.  Check for fuel, make sure there is good contact with the battery cables with the posts.  Just a few ideas for you.

Answer 4

It needs the proper "jump-start."

Answer 5

You forgot to feed them hamsters, Jethro!  They's too tired to turn the wheel and make the tractor go, so you can just go relax in the cement pond, for now...

Answer 6

is it upside down???

Answer 7

You don't give us much to work with here.  Start with the most simple things first.  Will it crank or turn over?  If not try cleaning your battery cable connections.  If that doesn't help, try recharging your battery or getting a jump start.  Still don't turn over? You probably need a new battery.  If it turns over but won't fire, check to make sure you have gas/diesel. Check your sediment bulb to see if your fuel is clean and has no water in it.   That's OK, then choke it and try again.  No help? Give it a shot of starter fluid of ether in the air cleaner.  That should get you going, if not, you have more serious problems and need to call a mechanic if you are not one yourself.  Might just need a tune up, points and plugs.

Answer 8

It needs two AA Batteries.
