ok so I finally got far enough along on the deck that I wanted to mount it and give it a try. I mounted it and hit the PTO and the PTO engaged... and nothing the belt didnt bite. So I adjusted the tension on the mule drive to the point it stopped the pulley, and the belt never moved once. So after sitting for 8 yrs I assumed it was hardened and glazed so I bought a new one and even with a new belt it was the same. I read that there could be some oil contamination on the clutch causing it to slip, so I sprayed some brake parts clean in the gap between the clutch and the fly wheel, thinking it would clean it out.. When that didnt work. I adjusted the trunnion and move it towards the back of the tractor one turn. That seemed to make it worse, now when I engaged the PTO it stalls the motor. So I turned it ahead one turn back to where it was and still stalls the motor. So I turned it ahead one more turn, and still stalls the motor with the belt on or off. Then with the belt off I manually moved the gov to full RPMS then engaged the PTO and it still killed the motor Now with the belt off just the slightest movement of the pto lever and it acts like a kill switch, You just touch it and it starts to bog the motor. ` I looked in there as best as I could to see if there was a wire touching the PTO lever thinking that it may be a coincidence and not seeing anything. Either the motor isnt strong enough to run the PTO, or there is something in the PTO that is binding it when engaged... even though I can move it freeley by hand. Before I pull the clutch/pulley assembly tomorrow any ideas? Thank you
