Robert B82 0 #1 Posted June 4, 2021 My B-82 has a vertical shaft drive with a clutching system to drive the deck. I cannot seem to get the adjustment so that the blades will not loose momentum in the grass. If i tighten up then the tractor cant start because it wont disengage. If i loosen off then when engaged it wont lock up. Can anyone help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,518 #2 Posted June 4, 2021 What mower are you using? What is the model number of the tractor? Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldlineman 1,541 #3 Posted June 4, 2021 Maybe your friction material is worn out or contaminated with grease or oil. Bob I don't recognize that model though, but Garry will figure it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,518 #5 Posted June 5, 2021 If adjustment does not work the pto clutch friction material may be worn out from slipping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,518 #6 Posted June 5, 2021 The 3/8" clearance means the spring is collapsed 3/8" and should provide enough pressure to drive the mower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
