Black smoke from a lawn tractor's engine typically indicates that it's running too rich, meaning there is an excess of fuel relative to air in the combustion process. This can be caused by issues such as a clogged air filter, a malfunctioning carburetor, or fuel system problems. If the engine won't run, it may also be due to fouled spark plugs or a fuel delivery issue. Addressing these components can help resolve the smoke and restore proper operation.
Blue smoke is from the engine burning oil. You could have too much oil or an internal engine failure.

A lawn tractor drive pulley is connected to the engine crankshaft and transfers power to the transmission. As the engine rotates, the drive pulley spins and drives the belts that are connected to the transmission, allowing the lawn tractor to move forward or backward. By adjusting the position of the drive pulley on the engine shaft, the speed and direction of the lawn tractor can be controlled.
