Keeps right on pushing snow and any thing else that I ask it to do though. One of these days I might take a look inside to see what's going on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff-C175 7,195 #33 Posted January 20, 2022 I hope you've got the brake pad installed, cuz that's the only thing holding the PTO pulley on there if you don't have the hoop attached! Do NOT want that coming off with engine running! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AND even with that... someone could get hurt or killed. Don Well thankfully no one is ever around this stuff but myself... I did my due diligence, measured, cleaned, put in the new parts...it makes noise, if it pushes dirt down the driveway im happy, ive got the 416, C100, a pair of 48" Exmarks, a 60" exmark and a 50" Cub if i need to mow...i don't even have a deck for this mower...just needs to grade the driveway every now and then. It was initially just going to be spare parts/scrap...but i saw potential in it to push this blade so I don't have to pull the decks off the other 2. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
