The engine needs air, so be sure the air filter is clean. If it is not, replace it.

The engine needs spark. Replace the spark plug and be sure that the battery has a complete charge.

The engine needs good fuel so be sure the gas is newly purchased, not gas that has been sitting around for months.

It sounds like the crankshaft sensor is the problem

SOURCE: I have John Deere GX345. It does not start

Look for a small silver box with 1 wire on it mounted to the motor. It is a temp sensor and will keep it from firing...Just had to replace mine...

SOURCE: I have a John deere 317 tractor that does not start.

We will be testing for voltage to the points, coil, engine to tractor wiring harness, ignition switch

Tools needed:
volt meter to read 12 volts, or test light

1) with the points open: is there voltage at the connection wire at the points
If yes; adjust points to .020" and try to crank engine and check for spark
*** you may want to determine if condensor is connected to this wire also
if no
2) check point side (neg or - ) of coil for voltage
if yes, engine should start
if no
3) check for voltage at the + side of coil
If yes, coil is bad
if no
4) check wire connector from engine to frame wiring harness
if yes; engine should start

if no
5) check wiring on the back of ignition switch
if yes; engine should start

if no
6) check that ignition switch RED or BATTERY supply wire has voltage
if yes; switch is bad

if no
7) check supply wire and circuit breaker connected to the battery side of the solenoid
if yes; engine should start

if no; circuit breaker could be at fault or wire connector at battery supply

SOURCE: John Deere L110 won't start.

check the solenoid on the bottom of the carb see if there is power if no power check the safety switch on the brake/clutch if there is power remove the solenoid and put power and ground to it to see if it opens if not try and clean it with carb cleaner if that works and opens remove the bowl from the carb and check the needle valve on the float make sure it moves

John Deere D140 PTO clutch tries to engage but fails. Why?

Try the following test. For safety purposes remove spark plugs. Now with engine off and key in run position turn PTO on. You should hear the clutch engage (clunk). Grab both sides of the clutch pulley and try to rotate the pulley. If the clutch is properly engaged you will not be able to rotate the clutch pulley without turning the engine.

Where should I start in trouble shooting my LA 115 model lawn tractor if it just won't crank. I tried to jump start it with jumper cables, but that didn't work ?

If the starter motor is actually turning the engine then the first thing to do is check the spark plug to see if you are actually getting a spark. If there is a spark, then move on to the fuel system to eliminate restrictions in the flow. The problem could be due to a dirty fuel filter, faulty fuel pump or solenoid fuel valve, no voltage on valve or dirt in the float bowl or a blocked float valve.
Have a look at these tips for troubleshooting lawnmower starting problems. They apply to tractors also:
