I am trying to save this machine that was sitting in a yard for years, and I got it in a bulk trade. I cannot find a lot of information on this unit and it needs some TLC. I cleaned the gas tank and replaced the carb as it looked like molasses running out of it. I think one of the safety switches is messed up as it will not crank using the ignition but I can bypass it and go straight to the starter and it will run fine. The choke cable and throttle cable are bad and need replaced. I ran it for the first time in probably 5+years today and after about 5-10 min the rear end was smoking a little bit but I could not tell exactly where it was coming from under the battery. I would like to get it fully functional but am new to working on riding mowers and would appreciate any help possible, thanks.
