There could be two problems. One might be the starter. Starters with worn bushings can drag internally and cause slow cranking and early battery drain to the point that the tractor will not turn over. (which means that there is no rrrruuurruuurrruuuu at all). if this is the case, have the starter motor load tested and taken apart to see if there is armature drag. The second issue is fuel flow to the carb as noted below. if the carb has a chance to fill up slowly through plugged up lines, it will run for a minute, then stop. Starting it then would just be in fits and a few puffs. (no matter what is done with the choke.) Plugged fuel lines My bet. There is a screen in the inlet to the carb where the fuel line fittings are attached. There is a screen and sediment bowl under the tank, and the hole going into the tank can be blocked. Best of luck, Jim
