Hi
dramapig,What we
don't want is for you you to go adjusting things
'ad-hoc'; This can lead to other problems resulting from your lack of knowledge, (which we entirely understand) and can give you a false reading of what is really the initial problem, and cause further damage to your machine
What we really need, is to have you on the same page as us, with regards to the correct
terminology as to the
drive train of your machine as such...
Here are the salient points:
(1) The
cutter clutch is the one that is directly connected to the Engine PTO (Power-take -off) shaft on the right hand side, (looking from the front), painted black, round; secured by 3 screws with a nut looking at you on the inner side, ( the captive cotter-pin) when you rotate it..
This is where I believe your problem is....
(2) The
land-roll clutch, is located in the chain case, and is located in the chain-case under the removable cover on the extreme right-hand side (looking from the front) behind the largest sprocket in the bunch...this is the system that drives ( self propels) your machine across the lawn...and engages when you squeeze the left-hand lever on the left-hand handle bar.
As you have adjusted this...it may need re-adjustment to correctly
position it back to where it was
initially.Similarly, the
primary chain tension adjuster may have to be re-positioned to where it was initially....there must be 1/2" play in the center of the chain (roughly) and definitely not
tight, this is the chain that runs to the cutter sprocket (the double one that connects to the cylinder reel) from the small 12 tooth (little) sprocket that connects to the engine PTO shaft.
Now that we are now on the "same page" as far as terminology is concerned, we can proceed to your problem...What I need to know, is exactly what is happening...Can you post all the symptoms that is occurring as you are trying to mow?
As what you are posting at present, doesn't explain your problem.
I will personally help you sort it, if you can tell me what exactly is wrong....Using the correct terminology as I have explained....If that makes sense!
I will get to the bottom of it....
