Im guessing that it has a honda gcv135/160 so i have attached pics of the carb and gaskets and the order the go in. make sure you get number 15 the right way round or you will block up air transfer holes!!!

that is the serial number for the mower,what engine is it???

sounds like your hydraulic motor maybe acting up. you need to check your hydraulic oil flow rate. if you don't have the tools you would have to take it in it is a fairly big job

will it stay running with your choke on? if so then clean your carb. if not then look for a blockage from tank to carb. ie fuel shut off, deteriorated fuel line. plugged filter etc

Depending on the make fo mower I would think the standard size of car spark plug would fit . Get the correct plug for your mower by asking the maker of the engine, they will know. Quote the engine details to the manufacturer

If you mean that you cannot pull the engine over then remove your spark plug and try with plug out. If it turns over with no plug in then you probably have a carboned up head. Remove head and carbon and reinstall head with a new head gasket.
