8ntruck 6,991 #3 Posted August 25, 2021 I had that issue earlier this year. Turns out that the C clip on the stub shaft on the PTO pulley had slipped out of its groove in the stub shaft. A trip to the hardware store for a new C clip fixed it. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,114 #5 Posted August 26, 2021 14 hours ago, chev0545 said: blades barely go around When the PTO lever is pushed forward do you hear any strange noises, does the PTO bell begin to turn right away? If you remove the tension on the belt to the deck (engine off and keys in your pocket) will the blades turn freely? Are the pulleys on the mule drive in good condition? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,807 #6 Posted August 26, 2021 or is a spindle seized up? Does the belt turn, or slip and burn? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
