How do you adjust the blade height on a yard machine lawn mower?
Do I need tools?
One does not adjust the blade on a mower. You adjust the height of the wheels. There should be levers that you push in to unlock the brackets and that will allow you to move the deck up and down as desired.
The float valve in the carburetor is not seating. This lets too much gas into the engine. The carburetor should be removed and properly cleaned. You should use a rebuild kit to put it back together. Just messing with will not get you a good running mower. Do it right and it will run great.
I have a 600 series yard machine and a couple of weeks back when I turned the key to start it, it acted like the battery was dead. I jumped it off from my car with no problem. I had planned to charge the battery but forgot. The next week when I went to mow the yard, again it acted like a dead battery but this time when I jumped it from my car,connecting to the battery terminals, it acted like there was a dead short, nothing happened. I found that if I connected the positive cable to the started motor then after turning the key on and touching the negative lead to a grounded part of the chasis, the starter turned over and the motor started and ran perfectly. Can someone tell me what is wrong and needs to be changed?
Thanks

Disconnect the battery cables then jump start to the positive terminal on the starter with the neg. jumper cable to the chassis, I bet it starts ( key must be turned on. ) Sounds just like my annual problem with a dead battery. They don't always just die. Mine always get a short internally. I have to disconnect the battery for it to run.
Edit: After reading your question again I think you should check the solenoid as suggested. Do this by disconnecting the battery and attaching the jumper cables to the battery cables on the mower. You need to disable the seat safety switch for it to start. Do this by putting a piece of paper between the contacts. It is just below the front of the seat.
You may have internal transmission problems. Trans axles are not exactly what I would call "D-I-Y" friendly. They are full of iddy-biddy needle bearings that are a snap to loose, and are tough to put back correctly! As bad as I hate to say this, call the man who knows how to fix this!
My yard machine blade will not engage (38" Blade cut, 125 HP) it starts up, everything else appears in working order. I think it may be a belt or spring, because when i engage the lever there is no tention, as if a spring or belt is worn or broken. Would this be an easy fix job? I don't have mechanic experence? Does anyone know of any sites that would take me thru step by step on what i need to do to fix it or can anyone tell me how to fix it
125 hp? or 12.5 h.p.
give make and model number, so someone can maybe help ya.

Our lawn gets easily mowed with Yard Machines 2-in-1 Push Mower ...
In the middle of mowing our small lawn our old lawn mower broke. Although we have a small lawn we have two levels so I usually do the lower part. We immediately went to Home Depot and chose the Yard Machines 21 inch 2-in-1 Push Mower.
Pro:
We needed something lightweight since it has to be lifted. My husband can fairly easily lift the Yard Machines 21 in. 2-in-1 Push Mower up a couple of feet and then up four steps. The Yard Machines 21 in. 2-in-1 Push Mower's design allows us to get closer to edges than our old machine. It allows for mulching and has a rear bagger. The rear bagger is great - it's much easier than our old side bag and...News
