lawn tractor blade will not quit spinning. After mower is shut off and re-started blade is still engaged. What to do?
That happened to me when I changed the belt on the deck. I had it twisted on the pulleys the wrong way so make sure you thread the belt properly and also watch the curved and flat sides of the belt are correct.
The spring on the right deck pulley may be missing or old and stretched. With the engine turned off and the mower deck lowered, reach under the mower frame , grasp the pulley, and pull it forward. Restart the engine. If the mower blades do not turn, the spring is the problem.
