JOEPOE1977 0 #1 Posted 19 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 32,110 #2 Posted 11 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 13,047 #3 Posted 11 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. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
