Hi all, new to the forum. Background in electrical, so may be able to assist at times. My issue is with this older Rover model. Could be an xc, but not too certain, the model number above is from the side plate. I cant seem to work out how the cutter deck is meant to engage/disengage from the motor drive. The only thing I can see that is linked to the engage lever is the little brake pad mech that engages onto to cutter pulley when the lever is put into the stop mode. It would appear to me that the drive belt is simply linked from the rear engine pulley direct to the cutter pulley. How that can be disengaged by the lever is beyond me, as there is no sign of a tension pulley along the belt or anything else. I have just acquired the mower, so I trust there is nothing missing from it. It looks straight forward to me, yet appears that the cutting deck would be spinning all the time, from the engine. Any help be great. Regards. Geoff
