JOEPOE1977 0 #1 Posted 12 hours ago Was running perfectly after I broke another belt, which I am still trying to figure out. Not it will not start. Turns over new battery and spark plug, but will not start. I let it set a couple of weeks, but will not run.Ahh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 32,109 #2 Posted 4 hours ago Need to give a bit more info if you could. Are you missing spark, gas, or compression? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 13,046 #3 Posted 4 hours ago Definitely like Dan said, we need more info. I'm leaning into something electrical aggravated during the belt replacement. That's one issue. The other is your belt problem. I looked back at the PTO posts you had. Your deck spindles, mule drive, and PTO itself need to be checked out. I don't like the looks of the PTO. You don't need to remove the bearing from the clutch housing to service it. Here's a bit on what I did to one. Dino Part 5 - Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations - RedSquare Wheel Horse Forum The mule drive and spindle bearings need to be free and smooth. I'm getting excellent service with sealed spindle bearings. I believe I'm on the 5th season with one of my decks with the sealed bearings and I mow a lot. In any case I feel like there must be a bearing/drag issue someplace. You shouldn't be going through belts like that. I may have the stuff you need if replacement is needed. Spindles from a 1979 42" RD, pto housing and mule drive. You're only about an hour and a half west. On another note guys, I know Dino Part 9 is way over do. It's coming. I've just been too tied up with a deck rebuild, generator installation, and a gazillion other summer projects. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
