Poulan front-engine lawn tractor common replacement parts

• Seat switch. The seat switch recognizes whether you are sitting on the seat. If the seat switch doesn't detect you in the seat when you release the brake, the switch kills the engine. To prevent tampering, the seat switch also kills the engine when you release the brake if you unplug the seat switch wire harness.
• Starter motor. The starter motor spins the flywheel to start the engine when you turn the key to the start position.
• Oil filter. An oil filter is a filter designed to remove contaminants from engine oil, transmission oil, lubricating oil or hydraulic oil.
• Idler tension spring. The idler tension spring is used to pull the idler arm back to tighten the belt. The spring will usually connect to the idler arm on one end, and to the frame on the other.
• Ground drive belt. The ground drive belt connects the engine crankshaft to the transaxle pulley to drive the rear wheels.

What to do when your Poulan front-engine lawn tractor leaks oil or gas

Check the oil level when the engine leaks oil. Drain oil to the full mark on the dipstick if you find the engine overfilled. A leaking head gasket or sump gasket can also cause oil leaks. Replace any damaged engine gaskets. If you notice gasoline stains on the pavement or garage floor, investigate the source of the leaking fuel. Rebuild or replace the carburetor if it leaks gas. Check the fuel pump for leaks and replace the pump if it's damaged.
