PTO Lever

can someone tell me what the lever under the left side that locks up the PTO is for? Do you lock this when using the lawnmower? the reason I asked is that when I mow lawn, the grass sticks back up and looks like its not mowed low enought. I have sharpened blades, tighten adjustment on collar to tighten belt tension, but still mows like I missed it.

Is your deck belt on right? Could be turning your blades in reverse. Been there, done that LOL Dan aka IronPony

yes, I forgot to say the blade is turning in the right direction. the lever is under the left side brake and directly under the left rear axle.

That lever tightens the belt from the mule drive to the deck and does not usually need to be touched except to service the deck or belt. The deck is engaged/disengaged from the belt running from the BGB to the mule drive.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
