It does have a cuttof valve. I have only recently done anything with older tractors. When I went to look at the tractor prior to purchase, I had to bring gas because the tank was empty. I drove it very little and left it as it was. I returned later and had it towed on the float to my place. When I tried to take it down the drive to its parking place it ran out of gas before I could barely move it. Further inspection revealed a leaking gas tank which I repaired. I have had to train myself to do all of the checks when finished running the tractor.. turnoff the gas, cover the tailpipe and be sure the key if off (that's another issue). I really had no idea that the gas cuttoff valve had to be shut until I saw gas dripping from the then open intake. Live and learn on this one. I've also had to have the gearshift shifter rod welded on and had to replace a hydraulic hose. It should be a good little machine when all gets fixed. Rick
