If it spins up to speed eventually I think it’s a belt problem.

If the pto can pull in it will give direct drive to the mower, no matter how big the airgap or how weak the coil. The hard part for the coil is the pull, not the hold, and when hold fails it fully disengages.


Edit: there is a key that may have sheared.

Ya it don’t fully disengage because the pulleys on the deck are still turning there just really slow and then if I sit for 45 seconds it’ll spill back up and I can cut 30 more footish. Where would the key that could have sheared be located at cause that may be it. i Hope anyways

It’s in the engine side of the pto rotor. Removing the pto will expose it.
