Most lawn mowers have safety features that will turn the engine off when there is damage to the blade assembly. That is very likely the problem.

What is deck cleanout on a lawn mower?

The deck on a lawn mower is the shaped metal shroud that keeps the spinning blade(s) from being exposed to the user during operation. Many manufactures use the shape of the deck to create a mild vacuum that draws the blades of grass up toward the mower blade(s). After mowing the lawn, some grass will be stuck on the underside of the deck. If the lawn is somewhat long and wet, the grass will build up on the inner surface of the deck to a point where only the blade(s) have clearance. This stops the deck shape from performing its designed function. Deck cleanout is performed while the mower is NOT running. Turn the mower on its side and scrape the excess grass from out of the underside of the deck.

Where is the battery on a sears craftsman key start lawnmower?

Not being sure what type (rider or pusher) or model mower we're talking about here....Here's my best guess: On a rider or lawn tractor the battery is usually under the seat or under the hood in the engine compartment. On a push mower, it may be under the engine shroud or...under the mower deck (usually in the back) behind a plastic cover. Sure fire way to find out is to grab hold of the wire (cable) at the starter and trace it. I'll guarantee you that one of the starter wires will lead you to the battery. Happy hunting, and good luck! :-)
