Cub Cadet riding lawn mower is 2-3 years old. It has white billowing smoke when the blade drops down to cut. What things should I be checking. Is this something I can fix at home perhaps? the small engine shop says they are behind 2-3 weeks.

Where is the smoke coming from? Is it coming out the exhaust or from the the mower deck? If it is coming from the exhaust you may have put too much oil in the crankcase. If it is from the deck it must be the belts. Something is not turning or the belts are not on correctly. I know this isn't much help but more information is needed for this one.

Please take some time to check out my fun and educational web site! linkb.com This is my White Lawn Mower by MTD (Yard Machines) that I bought ...

Last week, just as I was finishing up my yard, the engine began to pop, but nothing seemed to change performance wise. I put the mower up in the garage and this week when I went out to the garage, I found a large puddle of oil underneath it. It will start but oil is coming out rapidly. The mower is not that old and I keep the oil changed, this seems odd that it would just let go.

less than a year old and the riding lawn mower billows out white smoke for 5 to 10 seconds and about every 3-4 minutes. Oil level is fine and we do not believe it was ever overfilled with oil.

Generally white smoke indicates that you are burning oil. I know you said the oil level is fine, but you may want to double check.

my lawn mower was runing just fine till.i tilted my riding lawn mower (murray) on its side for 20 minuts removed the blade,sharpend the blade and then put it back on.then i seen that oil was lecking out the air fillter near the gas line.i removed the spark plug drained the oil out of the air filter and the started the mower (without the spark plug in)pump oil out of the pistons and flused gas throw the engine.got most of the oil out.put spark plug back in and started the mower.thick white smoke came out off the muffler burnt oil for about 10 minuts.i have to pour gas under the (air fillter) engine to get it started the gas line is not blocked i think the fuel fillter has oil in it blocking gas from geting into the engine.well anyways is there any thing i can put in the mower the get it to stop back fireing like carb cleaner what ever?of if i let down on the gas the engine shuts off so i push up on the gas and it back fire when it runs not one but most off the time.
yes i got a new air fillter

A lot of possibilities are already mentioned here. Dirty carburetor, fouled plug, etc. Check all the common sense things. I just have one additional possibility to try. Remove the muffler, and see if that helps. Sometimes (especially after burning a lot of oil), soot can clog the muffler, and cause these problems. A motor has to breath both ways.

I bought this ride on lawn mower and I am 14 I fixed it up if I take the blade off could get a ticket riding it up and down the street. A housing tract. My neighbor is a cop and he already doesn't like me very much. I have been called white trash but I don't care why do california's get mad about such minor things

The more important question would be: Is the person who is riding the lawn mower legal? Given the number of illegals who do lawn work the answer is probably, "No".
