courtneysg3 0 #1 Posted December 12, 2024 Hello I have an older toro wheel horse 13-38 hxl that I just purchased and after I brought it home I noticed that the blade engagement cable is moving with no resistance and the blades spin no matter if the pto lever is engaged or not. I noticed that the cable is very loose and the idler arm isn’t moving at all. I was hoping to get some tips on how to correct the issues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
