I just removed it and reinstalled it. Does the tension on the belt have any effect? I have tried tighter and looser but did not seem to make difference? Yes, the belt tension needs to be tight ....only deflecting 1/2inch when pushed midway between PTO and mule drive 36 minutes ago, AmishMenno said: It seems if the PTO is engaged the pulley should run the belts at proper speeds. The belt should be on the larger inside PTO pulley. If the PTO is engaged and the clutch is not slipping the belt should be turning at the correct speed. If the PTO and belt are spinning and not slipping, the belt may be slipping at the deck pulley or the other belt that connects the the three blade spindles may be slipping . This belt is tensioned under the deck belt guards by a spring loaded idler pulley. The spring could be broke or weak. I suspect this may be your problem. Remove the deck and the deck belt guards and check the spring Another dumb question I guess but what is the main function of the little adjustment for the tall lever letting the deck up and down? This is typically used to set the minimum height of a mid or front grader blade. I have used it to set the deck height higher than the deck wheels allow when mowing on very rough ground and high weeds. 36 minutes ago, AmishMenno said: The grass height is set entirely by the lever on the deck. Right? Yes, during normal grass mowing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I engage the clutch lever the mower would begin running again. What do you think is the problem. BTW, it's a little late now, but you should always start a new thread in the implement forum for this type of question. It should not be tacked on to someone else's post. It disrupts his thread, but it also makes your question and the answers difficult for other members to find and offer advice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
